stop eating weetabix?

only way i can think of checking it is to lose the axle stands and maybe put the wheels on mobile ramps instead. too low to drive on so you'll have to jack it up and then drop it back down on to the ramps. if theres play in the bushes/suspension anywhere, easiest way to see IMO is to have the cars weight on the wheels while you get someone to wiggle the steering wheel so you can have a look underneath at the same time n see if there is play anywhere
when driving along, if you go from hard accelleration to breaking and back again, does the car seem to go slightly to one side? if so i would suspect suspension/bushes, if not, i would suspect steering rack/bushes. or is the car not drivable?
