Steering Slack/Hunting
I've got some play in the steering (5-10 degres tops) which isn't bothersome for in town driving. Though, when up to highway speeds, it tends to pull in whichever direction the car is leaning. Example: road has a slight hill in the center of the lane, going to the left edge of the lane means car pulls left. Likewise, moving to the right of the lane results in car pulling to the right.
I crawled under to look at the the steering in action, and didn't really see any noticeable slop in any of the links. What am I missing? Also, it's not related to weight transfer, like I originally thought it was. If I flick it to the right, but stay on the left cambered part of the road, it still pulls left.

have the front suspension inspected my an alignment shop. I found when my car was doing this it had worn ball joints. after replacement and a proper alignment it all went away.
