I detect some tramlining occasionally and sometimes it feels as if the wheels are loose. I appreciate that sounds alarming but I put it down to being a bit sensitive to the issue. I have the suspension set to 10 so it is bit on the hard side. I have had the car a year and it has been the same throughout, even when I had new tyres on the front.
Has anyone else had a similar experience or do their cars behave themselves?

Torque steer probably, could be all manner of things from cheap tyres to drifting due to previous accident damage, unless you can see there's no movement at the wheels when you rock the steering wheel a couple of inches either way it's not likely to be your rack,
Testing time,
Does she drift, bare in mind a heavy car will always run to the camber of the road so it won't stay straight on it's own if the camber is pronounced,
Rock the steering wheel do the wheels react or not, does the steering suddenly bite when you get to say 11pm or 1am
Are the tyres a good brand or a budget brand with no name as such, i.e Cruiser 4000Z's etc
Check wheel nuts,
Check tracking, if you have suspected tram-lining or saw-toothing the cars tracking or geometry is out,
After that it's check suspension time, look for bad bushes, torn gaiter/boots on joints, roll bar bushes especially and both back and front,
If none of the above apply I'd suspect a weak spring or shocker or both.
