Everytime I hit bumps in the road, my steering wheel shakes, however there seems to be no play in the steering, could this be bottom ball joints?

could be ball joints but i suspect rear arm bushes, if you drive at a steady 10 mph and jab the brake pedal, if the steering wheel moves left or right its pointing to the bushes on the rear of the arm, the round ones.
quite a common issue

It could be the bottom ball joints or tie rods mate. Check all the joints and bushes for play. :thumbsup

I think I've done that right, but let me know if I havent. After considering further, I think the rear bushes could be at fault, but also the front bottom arm bushes, as under hard cornering, the front end feels like its "floating"

Are the rear bushes a difficult part to change? I've done wishbones before but never attacked rear bushes on any car

sorry mate i wasnt that clear in my last post, the bushes are at the front of the car, on the back of the front wishbones. round about 3" can someone post a picture?
