Guys what would be the main cause of my van wobbling all over the place.

Recently too and from ebi it go really quite bag. The smallest gust of wind and the van is all over the place. I then correct and occasionally get a snake on.

Yes there is a lot of play in the steering wheel / box. I have also noticed when you turn the wheel with the van jacked (wheels off the ground) the arm that comes out the beam kind of raises up when you steer. I am guessing the Swivel bushes need replacing but what else could cause this.

I am running 185/65 R15 on the rear reinforced sidewall's. 175/55 R15 on the front.

Rear shocks are KYB GR2s only 2 years old. Front shocks new Gaz shocks.
 
You have to wiggle, joggle and lever all the moving parts of the suspension and steering. Anything that moves in any direction not intended needs fixing.

If your not sure then get a professional to take a look.
 
Thanks I will do....When was removing the engine this weekend I gave the van a little wobble and was amazed and the amount of movement in the rear tyre side walls.
