steering madness!!!! help me

[318is_irl]

right lads ive noticed there was always a bit of play in the steering in my 318is but now its doing some stranger stuff

sometimes it pulls too the right and sometimes it pulls too the left and sometimes its perfect...... this happens on flat roads so its not the slope in the road lol and its always a very strong noticable pull..

the tracking was done 2 weeks ago so its not that

my power steering pump is leaking fluid could this be it?

is it a seal thats leaking?

can i replace the seal or is it a new pump i need?

Sure you are not tram lining ???? What type of roads, main roads with lorry tracks ????

[318is_irl]

nope its def not the roads lad this is my 4th e30 ive driven on the roads and none have done this before...... one of the roads is a motorway!

Front wishbone bushes worn ?

I know when I fitted new ones the steering felt much more stable and it got rid of the wobbly feeling from the front end
