mk2 - steering - again lol

Postby GavSuz » Sun Oct 19, 2014 6:35 pm

so
bought a "new" refurbished unit off ebay from the proper people - cant remember their name ???

fitted it - less than a year ago - and steering is still really loose and driving down the A1 looks like i'm going round corners all the time lol

there is also no adjustment left in the steering box - was like that when i got it - the screw for adjusting it is all the way in already !! - great refurbished unit then lol


SO - next option if u guys think it may help
is to replace all the track rod ends and ends of steering bar and then get the tracking done ??

help please

How much play is there in the steering before it starts to turn the wheels. What wheels and tyres do you have on the front and what pressures do you have in?
