KEB1 Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Hello, Having just joined, I wonder if anone can help with this. Coincidentally (I hope) since I had a new front tyre fitted and both front wheels balanced, on slight left or right turns of the s wheel when maneuvering what is best described as a momentary impolite noise can be heard from the steering system (power).I jacked it up and had a good look round both sides and can't see anything out of place.On the road it feels like new and handles extremely well due to the new tyre.I have a few theories, which I hope are wrong, but has anyone else actually experienced the same occurance ?

Shemer Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Cehck the connecting rods between antiroll bar and front shock absorbers (can be seen in the attached photo) - the ball joints tend to get loose, which in turn causes unpleasent noise. http://grm.m.walla.co.il/briefcase/00f3/r/a/d/a/r/j/e/d/i/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/@/r/200503311606502326/200503311631025291/398_9881.JPG Quote
KEB1 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Posted July 13, 2007 Hi Shemer, Many thanks for your reply. I will have a closer look at the anti roll bar links. It would be great if it was just that. I was begining to wonder about steering racks and rams which, despite their complexity, are not that expensive by comparision.However, the level of work is quite extensive and I would much rather change the anti roll bar links than the rack ! All the best, Kristian. :rolleyes: Quote
