You need to be a little more specific with what you mean. Are you losing steering pressure intermittently??

No its a little hard to describe. The steering just feels really vague and it really doesn't inspire confidence. There appears to be quite a bit of play in the steering so I'm guessing that it's just worn track rod ends. I just wanted to check if there are any common steering issues with the X308.
Thanks

As far as I know, just the usual suspects,


Tyre pressures
Trackrod ends
Ball joints
Bushes
UJ's in the steering column
