the stearing (non power) on my syncro sceams to be getting heaverer, i am getting worried about the VC or could it be the stearing rack (do they wear out) as it scceames heavy all the time.
When i say heavy i mean that there is what feels like resistance when driving nothing mojor but there is a distinct difference between our t25 camper.
There is the normal resistance on full lock or when doing a 3 point turn wear the front wheels fell like they are pulling the front around with a slight ripping, i dont want to make it sound harsh as it is no more than a old jeep cherokee that i had about 5years ago.

any advice would be apreciated

thanks neil

Does it feel like its trying to slow on tight turns?? (tight vc makes it "scrub" and will load up the steering on tight tarmac turns....)

I presume youve checked and adjusted tyre pressures?

Racks generally dont wear so they are stiffer.... has any of the suspension components failed? ball joints/bushes etc etc... as changes in the geometry will not help...

false alarm i think jed drove my van today for about 8 miles a reconed everthing was ok . the tyres have 3.0 bar at the front and 2.5 at the rear. none of the suspenshon compnents have been changed. apart from all of the cv boots and a set of wheels (new mefros). i made the mistake of driving the camper (2wd). where everything is nice and light up front. thanks for the help neil

the tyres have 3.0 bar at the front and 2.5 at the rear.

..... I'd sort out that one asap ......

3.0 bar at the front and 2.5 at the rear
