Harsh juddering when going over bumps?

[BristolSam16v]

Say im going round a corner in a lane quite quickly, and the road is quite bumpy, the car judders so badly its hard to hold the steering wheel, I have to come off the gas cause I think its going to fall apart :S

Im sure it hasn't always done this, could it be a busted shock?

Steering also changes when lifting off/on throttle?

[MAXIBOY]

check for play in the wheels steering first.

[BristolSam16v]

Do you mean play in the steering column?

[MAXIBOY]

jack the front wheels up and check for play

have you had the tracking checked? i thought my steering column needed welding but when i got it tracked it was way out, the wheel was juddering all over the shop accellerating and hitting corners etc.. had it tracked and its now wicked, best 20quid ever lol
