Hi,
I have finished refurbishing the rear axle on my S3 and moved my attention to the front.
Dropped the front axle off to replace the springs\shocks and track rods etc and have a good look at everything.
The swivels are quite corroded so I thought they were causing the heavy steering.
I expected when i disconnected the drop arm that the steering would to be nice and light - it dosnt seem much different to when it was actually moving the wheels (very heavy and clunks when you rock it left\right).
Just after a suggestion as how best to proceed ?
Should I just disconnect the steering box to relay bar and try and work out which is causing the most friction ?
How difficult are they to strip and rebuild etc - or is it a case if you have to as then stick with with recon units!
Thanks in advance.
