Wayward steering

Recommended Posts

Ok peeps, so ive found sometimes driving along the car seems to swerve ever so slightly, as if the wheels are going over a mound but the round is flat

 

Any ideas?

Tracking? Steering rack? Power steering?

More likely track rod ends. Get the car in the air and have a good look at each of them. You may need a pry bar to see if there's any excessive movement, but they're cheap and easy to replace if you need to.

They were both replaced last year so will get them checked

Cheers

After replacing EVERYTHING else, I needed a new rack in my VR to get rid of that vagueness. Tight as a drum after that.

 

One of the parts worth checking is the steering column UJ. I had a very slight bit of play in mine, which over the length of the steering column and steering wheel circumference amounted to quite a lot of slack.
