   My VTR has developed a strange problem. The steering is vibrating (Actually worse at low speeds) I havent hit any pot holes & this has just started & seems to gradually be getting worse. I dont think it's the balancing as this was done recently & doesnt feel the same.
   
   It feels like I am having to fight the steering, again its not tracking.
   
   Can anyone suggest what this could be, one of my friends thinks it is track rod ends or even a engine mount.
   
   I also have a slight metallic noise coming from under the front of the car at low speeds, although this has been there since last January

   Does sound like an engine mount might be worth checking them. Also what do you mean by a metallic sounds?

   Hard to describe, a rattle like something is loose. Sounds to be underneath the engine not in it. I cant see anything obvious.
