I have recently been experiencing some odd steering characteristics. It started about a month or so ago and appears to maybe getting worse. It's hard to explain, but the problem is that the steering has become extremely sensitive in that a slight turn of the steering wheel will make the car turn/sway not so smoothly. It almost feels like there is something loose and the car wants to sway.

I have pulled off both front wheels and saw nothing that jumped out at me. I have noticed that the right front wheel has very slight movement if pulled back and forth firmly like the wheel bearing is loose.

i'm a novice with respect to suspension, but i did also notice that the rather big,thick bar that attaches to the front of the right wheel assembly appears to have moved/slid at the collar where it attaches the assembly based on the degree of wear (i.e., dirty road worn bar, then the last 1/2" or so just prior to the collar attachment is clean as a whistle).

Any help would be appreciated.
