Steering 'click' upon direction change

[striderwilson 0]

No idea how hard they are to strip - but new ones are normally sold on an exchange basis so it must be possible to repair all but the worst ones. How bad mine is I honestly don't know - so if you want it to play around with you can have it foc - let me know if you want to collect or me to post it.

Yeah I will have it if its foc. How much would you want for postage?

That click is common on VR ZF racks, even the new bloody VW I fitted a year ago does it :roll:

 

Vince did manage to remove the slack from the pinion by winding in the 22mm preload adjuster screw an 8th of a turn and that totally transformed the steering and removed the click. Tight, slack free and responsive and also none of that usual vagueness around the centre. Unfortunately that fix lasted all of 2 weeks, so I've sourced yet another rack :roll: I WILL get rid of the clonk one way or another :lol:

Me too mate, I will get it sorted. Hence why I am getting this spare rack to dismantle and figure it out for myself.

Clunking:

 

can also be caused by the UJ catching the trim under the dash ..

can also be caused by the steering column ..

can also be caused by the track rod ends ..
