Front Steering Componants.
« on: 12 May 2016, 06:14:47 »

Hi,

I'm planning on overhauling the front steering Componants as its all pretty knackered with loose joints and split dust/oil seals so  I was wondering if any of you chaps might know which items I should replace to get it all nice and tight at the front again?

 The car does tend to wonder quite a bit and tramline when the road surface isn't great and on top of that it does pull  to the left as well! I've had the tracking and alignment done a couple of times but the near side front wheel always seems to edge its way out as if it wants to turn left!

If your going, full refurb, then you want L+R inner outer track rods, idler arm, either new, or free'd off rear control arms, then book a full 4 wheel alignment  :y
