Mark 2 steering wobble

Postby bigmattpowell » Thu Mar 27, 2008 11:14 am

Sorting the camper out for the summer, but the steering has a lot of play in it (scary on the motorway). Is this likely to be the steering box itself and can you stil buy new or reconned ones for the mk2? Or are there any later parts that will bolt up or even power boxes? Cheers, Matt.

There are quite a few parts here in england! :lol: Also may Mk3 parts fit the Mk2 (brakes, gearbox, axles)

I have several serviceable second hand Mark 2 steering boxes in stock, bit awkward to post though :!: Pm for prices if required. :)

Why are they awkward to post?

Because the steering columns are usually a pig to separate it's easier to leave them on :!:
