Title: slight play in steering rack
Post by: delirical on 18 January 2011, 17:47

Hi guys,

If you grab the wheel and push up and down there is a small amount of movement, when turning a corner and foot resting on the clutch you can feel movement/friction relating to turning the wheel.. any ideas? is there something that just need tighterning? do i need to take all the dash out to get access? :sad:

Cheers

Alex

No mate dont drop the dash out, take plastic cover off below steering wheel and plastic trim below that think 5 screws, have a look up for what should be 2 silver nuts, they need tightening up 1 of em is a real twit to get too :grin:

there is 1 bolt holding the lock housing to the outer colum tube which often loosens itself, you dont even need to remove the lower cowling to get to it there is a hanfdy access hole in the cowling. though its only 2 screws to remove it, makes it easier to see what you are doing :)
