Good evening everyone,

I run a late Mondeo mk3 hatchback as my daily driver which whilst may not be a long term car, I like to make sure things are right.

The car behaves and handles very well on winding A roads and B roads, but show it a motorway which may have ruts in it or potholes and it has a tendency to do one of three things:
- Tramline
- Follow the camber of the road (thereby I have to apply some opposite effort on the steering)
- Sometimes begins to wander a little if it hits some bumps or holes

I have read that worn bushes are common on these but they don't appear bad? I have seen far worse on cars which don't exhibit these symptoms. Are there any specific bushes I should look closely at which can produce this behaviour?

I should also mention that the tracking is correct and there has not been any significant uneven tyre wear 7k miles.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
