Crack in steering column when turning.

Yesterday i noticed that when i was parking it up that it started cracking,

Didnt think much of it and then its got considerably worser..


Any ideas, the steering is still fine though..

How much weed did you smome yesterday?
more info will help.

[JoseMcGeevio]

I didnt 'smome' any weed sunshine,

Basically when i turn it it cracks, just as simple as that, when im driving the steering is effected but it still cracks, could it be a bearing? when it crack its vibrates on the steering wheel too..

Could be a bearing in the column or maybe more serious in that the mounting or bulkhead has cracked.

hahaha smome. I hate touch screens.
get the steering rack checked as mine make a creaking noise when im rolling 1-3mph and i turn the steering.
sounds like a bearing but it could also be the top mounts.

That is top mounts.

Well lads ill let you know, im getting the mounts changed as i am dropping coilovers on it this weekend.

Fingers crossed its the mounts!

as above, either top mounts or CV joint - the two noises are quite different but both could be described as 'cracks'

Make sure you get new bearings too. Think I got lemforder mounts a febi bearings. 

[JoseMcGeevio]

Well lads its not the top mounts as changed them on the weekend when i fitted my coilovers,

(which i fitted to low and hit a bump and took my plastic rear arch off haha.. All fun and games!)

Ill have a look at the cv joint
