What can cause sloppy steering/handling?
Like the title says what are some of the causes? I noticed the other day that when i take a corner my car has a lot more roll to it than it used to. Could it be time to replace the suspension? The steering is also real loose when i turn. Please help me.

I just got (yesterday) new end links from nissanpartstore.com these link your stabilizer to your lower control arm. The D/S side completely seperated from the stbilizer and it make all sorts of strange sounds when I go over bumps. I realllly need to get them in. I have a 99 with 111k on it.

there is no sound that i can hear. its just all gone sloppy now. It actually feels like the car might flip if i bang a corner to hard. Personally i hope its the suspension cause that is an excuse to lower the car

Check out the struts by bouncing the corners.
Jack the front up and check for play in the wheel bearings and for steering joint wear. Have the LCA bushings inspected. And check wheel alignment it has a big effect on the steering.
