I am having some serious driving issues with my 986 2002 reg Boxster. Had it for slightly over 2 months now and while the car was incredibly tight and precise in steering when I got it, it feels totally unstable now to the point that I can't drive it in speeds over 40-50 mph. The car sort of wobbles and pulls either in one direction or the other on a straight road, almost like sliding. I never lose control of it completely but it is almost terrifying to drive at those speeds... The steering also feels unsually light and unresponsive.
It's not the wheels/alignment; 2 days ago I put in 4 Michelin Pilot Sports and had the alignment checked and fixed (the old tyres were fairly worn, particularly the rear ones).
The car is going in the garage I got it from tomorrow for a telling off and hopefully for getting fixed under a warranty. I will insist it gets taken to the Porsche dealership. My opinion there is either something wrong with the steering or the shock absorbers (or both). Has anybody has similar problems before?
