Got steering prob...HELP
« on: 27 November 2006, 20:37:07 »

Need some help chaps. Steering has gone bad on my face lift 2.5v6. Had a slight pull to the left, put it in for tracking and it came out with the steering wheel at 2 o clock when driving straight and the car pulling to the left. Put it back in and they couldn't get it to set up right, said the wishbones had play in them. I've changed the wishbones and roll bar link joints and all the track rods appear ok. Its been back again for tracking which has been adjusted again but its even worse. The steering vibrates and pulls badly to the left and there was an massive bang from the car when i parked on the drive last night, i've got it booked into Vauxhall tommoroe for them to look at but will have to have a Ford Focus as a loan car (bad enough the steering without having a Ford Focus) :-[ .
Any thoughts as i'm desperate, my 1998 Omega is in having some cosmetic beauty :'( .

Sounds like they've really 'dangle berries'ed it up. Sorry to say but that sounds like it will take some sorting out :(

Sound like its going to be very costly, unless anybody can suggest something to advise Vauxhall about (the experts dont always get it right 1st time).

See this site

http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk

He is a member here, and is the God of geometry.  May be worth contacting him via his website, as he too runs a busy forum so doesn't always get across here.

I doubt Vx dealer will do much good....

Thanks.
I've e-mailed him, hope he can help as we are desperate. Its a long way but if he could help i'd even consider driving down to Watford as long as it get sorted.
Thanks for the address.
