STEERING PLAY

<< < (2/2)

Rustyrover:
I think I'd check the steering ball joints too - get a pry-bar and give them a good shove.  Also, grab a willing assistant and ask them to wiggle the steering wheel back and forth whilst you lie underneath - you'll be able to see where the play is.  It only takes a small amount of play in each joint to make the whole thing feel really unsafe - luckily the repair parts are pretty cheap.

As has been said above though, you're talking about a design that about 40 years old so most folks just get used to it  :wink:

Robbo:
its that rule of 3 again, if its moving more than 3 inches its too much  :( and fiddle, if tyre pressure ok..ie the amount marked on the tyre,-probably in the 25-30 range, and your steering wheel is moving less than 3 then its definitely a landrover thing! :lol:
