steering has loose feeling

[e_c]

1990 240sx - stocki just got new tires at the end of winter break

starting about thanksgiving break every once and a while, when i was on the freeway or 50 mph + my steering would feel loose, or really touchy... also in high speed turns it feels as though it kinda sticks making it hard to correct/fix direction while at high speeds... now this is hapening every time i go above 45 mph... i was wondering what you think it is... any help/suggestions are appreciated... thanks in advance

check the outer tie rod ends for play, playa playa

seroiusly, that was my problem till i replaced them & got the car realigned.

heck, my local alignment shop (pepboys @ the time) did a free under car inspection to check those and ball joints as well... to confirm my findings.

mebbe the power steering belt is old/stretched as well?
