Play in steering wheel

(1/2) > >>

BurgerKing:
Got some play in my steering wheel and sometimes i get a "clunk" from the front end. Someone has told me it could be the link from the steering box to wheel. It does seem to wonder on the road a little bit...

Any ideas....

muddyweb:
Get someone to wiggle the steering wheel back and forth and have a good look underneath for movement in the wrong place... it may be one (or more) of :

Steering Rod Ends
Wheel Bearings
Swivel Pins / Bearings
Steering Box
Steering Column
Suspension Bushes

and probably some others I haven't thought about ;-)

davidlandy:
panhard rod bushes

muddyweb:
I said that ;-)

davidlandy:
hmmm :-k   where?

ok then.......

 that little forged/cast bar that the panhard rod attaches to at the steering box.

drop arm ball joint

tightness of the large nut on the bottom of the steering box

 :wink:
