steering problems

(1/2) > >>

showcarz:
i remember on my old sj i had a nut that i could turn to tighten up the steering ie so it drives in a straight line lol, is it the same on a landrover and if so could somebody tell me where it is please so i can actually drive the car to the m.o.t station and not be on the other side of the road?,

apparently when off roading you adjuct something on the steering so when you hit a bump it doesnt snatch the steering out of your hands well thats whats up with mine and its unsafe to drive and need it sorting a.s.a.p, cheers guys any help appreciated ;-)

mark.yellow.series.3:
i would be intrested in this answer.
 i thought that was the job of the steering damper, and the preload on the swivels.

btw, great paint job.

showcarz:
glad you like it, wish id done it camel trophy yellow now tho, it just looks like a zebra haha

would love to find oput how to adjust the steering tho!

hobbit:
There is an adjsutment screw to take out the free play on the steering box

But as already said, a steering damper is very hand and can be fitted to a series, if you look on the link arm on the steering you may find the bracket is already fitted, whick makes the job a little easier

Rich_P:
If the steering wheel is snatched out of your hands on bumps, then check the swivel preloads.  Furthermore, the steering relay/drop arm that is located in the front crossmember also adds tension and resistance to the steering.

A damper shouldn't be needed on a Series under normal circumstances.
