Excess wheel movement on due to steering rack (and clunky) | |
As with my rrs, works perfectly till I go on a longish journey.
Initially It had stiffish suspension, like it was stuck on dynamic mode. I checked the usual suspects, no issues.
I've been away for a long weekend, on the motorway I developed a vibration, and a wobble at slow speed. It then became very clunky. I assumed my upper front ball joint on the passanger side had given up.
As the car became more wobbly at slow speeds and vibrating at high speed, the steering corrected its self.
Now home, jacked up the vehicle, expecting to find a knackered upper front ball joint, no issues at all. So thought I will check the bearings, no issue.
I've found I have 4mm play on the passanger wheel, from the steering rack, the track rod end Is fine but I have movement on the full steering arm, when securing the opposite wheel.
Anyone have any suggestions? or am I looking at a new steering rack.
Thanks in advance
