How much free play in your steering wheel?

anyone?

 

Loads for me, in the process of going through my steering checking/replacing bits

 

Play-wise , pretty good over here ...
I need to get the tracking done though as i let the local `specialist` garage replace a couple of ball joint rubbers for the MOT which cost a stupid amount
They assured me the tracking was checked but 1000 miles down the road it`s starting to scrub tyres ....

Another fine example of London engineering excellence - why can`t i find anyone down here who has a conscience ??

 

About an inch before the wheels start to move. Was really blowy on the A303 today, and he ran straight as a die.

 

What are we talking about here? Driving down an autobahn or parking and then parked.
Luckily mine seems okay on all counts.

 

In windy conditions over viaducts buffeting can be tricky.

 

parked

 

Were you ever a Russian spy, Nick ?

 

An inch. Or less.

 

not sure where you are in london but if your close to junc 11 M25 my place does tracking

 

hmm i may need a steering box lol

 

Maybe an inch with power off....power on...too quick to tell.

 

Really ??
I`m just at the end of the M3 , can you PM me some details please ?

Thanks

 

None really, though the road wheels will no doubt still appear only vaguely connected.

 

so this may not be a box issue?

We do MOT's too

 

Possibly not - is the coupling ok ?

 

Lie under, get assistant to wiggle the wheel and see for yourself where any slck might be.

 

the column joints etc move instantly but the arm out of the box doesn't - so I'm thinking box , feels fine while driving
