vague steering...
mornin all
hope you all had a gr8 extended jubille weekend
no down to business, ive had a wooly feeling to my steering since buying the van bout a year ago, renewed the track rod ends, roll bar bushes, new tyres with correct pressure, but i,m still getting a vague response from the steering, when travelling straight, i can move the steering wheel a good few inches either way, with no response, very dissconcerting
could the rack be shot
any input as always, will be gratefully recieved
thanx gazulu...
KEEP RIGHT ON, TILL THE END OF THE ROAD !!!!
