Had mine from 79,000 miles, and it's done it as long as I've had it..

My ZTT has done 140,000 miles.

I've noticed this pretty much since I bought the car at 62k.

Maybe someone who has owned from new has encountered this? Let us know if that's the case.

Had the wheel alignment done yesterday. It was out on all four wheels and I got an advisory on impending excess wear on the offside wishbone bushes.

The weather was quite bad here yesterday with the snow so I haven't had a chance to get a good feel for the car but it certainly felt better from the driving I did do. I'll get a better idea over the next few days if the alignment has affected the twitching, although I'm a bit dubious now.

Personally i think its the car that does this skitting across little bumps etc mines done 132.000 and shes always done it and shes tested twice a year (taxi)..
Worse than a m.o.t very stringent can fail for farting

Hope you sort it out but its just something i live with
