Today checked the tension strut bushes with my daughter behind the wheel
Max. steering angle - with engine off - trying to force the wheel outwards with the steering wheel.
Left & right hand side seem to create a flex in the bush of a few millimeters - appears totally normal.
Max. steering angle - with engine running - trying to force the wheel outwards with the steering wheel.
Wheel turn just a bit more (likely under the increased force of the hydraulics until the real end-stop)
Left & right hand side seem to create again a flex in the bush of a few millimeters - but it appears totally normal.
Then we wiggled the steeringwheel gently left & right.
A clear play in the steering could be heard - See video
(hope the link works -as I could not upload the .mov file)
Question:
1) How much play should there be ( the gears will not some right)
2) Can the play be adjusted or is it plane replacement of the rack
It was getting dark but will check tmrw if thebolts of the rack are perhaps loose.
Any ideas are most welcome
Thanks,
C.
