Thanks Wammers, I took it to a tyre company today who said they would sort it for me but they (like all experts) refused to listen. I even printed the page from RAVE but the insisted on locking the steering wheel in central position. So, I decided to get on and do myself.
V8HSE, tram lining is the reason I am trying to get mine done.
going to tackle my tramlining P38 tomorrow... can't live with it anymore !
How do I remove steering wheel ?
names of components : drop link - connects shaft at bottom of steering box to front drag link ?
the steering rod at rear of axle - does it only adjust toe-in/out ?
Also I have an intermittent wooble when driving which at times, causes the front passenger seat to shake Any ideas as to the reason for this ?
Thanks for prompt advice again Wammers and JamesMartin. Any ideas on whats causing the wobble / seat shaking saga ? ( wheels /tyres were all balanced couple of weeks ago)
If it's just a little bit off centre then yes you can adjust with the drag link andthis will not affect your alignment.Hi guys
On this subject i fitted new drag link and track rod for mot last week. I took them off, centered steering box (raised notch on outer back ring on box to mark on box) then refitted. I then had wheel alignment done.
Steering wheel is just off center, so can i just adjust drag link slightly to correct or will this affect the wheel alignment?
Also, i have not driven car much since getting it last year (long story involving head gaskets), but is turning circle pretty big on these, i mean, i turn wheel only a couple times max to full lock- just checking this is right
Thx
