Hi all,
Don't know if this has been discussed before, I can't find anything that's similar to my problem.
Steering is a bit vague, as in when initiating high speed turns when on the motorway, it's steering is very light and direct'ish. But sometimes it seems to have a bit of a dead spot before anything happens, mostly when in mid corners when at speed, around 80-100kmh.
I've gone through all the normal problem areas and now I've begun to change bits.
Changed all of the rear bushes, most were stuffed. (Had a case of rear wheel steering, fun but not good)
New panhard bushes, also stuffed.
New swivel bearings, pins and wheel bearings. (Changed on spec.)
Steering box is now nipped up to just off of stiff steering, took a while to get right. (No more noticeable play I can see or feel)
New steering damper, changed on spec.
New shocks all round, were stuffed. (Case of bad maintenance before my ownership)
New track rods (one was stuffed, changed rest on spec.)
Both prop shafts changed when gearboxes were replaced.
Rear wheel bearings seem to be fine, can't feel any play.
Not changed the radius arm bushes, yet.
I was wandering if other than doing the radius arms, if there was anything else that would contribute to this weird feeling?
Never had this problem with my other 110 I had before, but this 90 just seems a way bit more nervous on the road, fine in the rough.
