Steering - now I'm worried!

<< < (2/2)

Lyndsey731:
I too have a 300tdi with a 2" lift, 2" body lift and 35's. When the body lift was done by myself and a qualified mechanic/MOT tester he was very, very unhappy with the amount of the shaft that was pulled out of the bottom clamp. I would imagine you are right with your assumption about the splines. On mine we took the shaft out and broke the joint and bolted it back together with nylock nuts with some spacers in between. I know that doesn't sound great but he (and I) were far happier with this solution.

Right I've taken the steering rod off and there is no obvious sign that its slipping on the splines. The nuts on the ball joints are all tight. I'm at a loss now... anybody else got any ideas?

Range Rover Blues:
On a 300 series you should find a notch cut in the back of the steering box drop arm that matches up to .a hole drilled in the bottom face of the steerring box.  You use these to align the steering box to centre before doing the tracking, you can use them to check how far (or if) the steering has slipped

Has this problem been fixed yet?

Hi

I have adjusted the play in the steering box and checked its all centered. I will have to wait and see. Fingers crossed...

Cheers

John
