Hello, I've just rebuilt my steering box. Now its refitted to the vehicle (S3). Ive noticed that when I rock the steering, the pedal box and steering box are moving left to right. Its noticeable when looking between the steering box bracket and the air cleaner.

All bolts are tight and the spacers are in.

Thanks

As the pedal box is moving the whole bulkhead has to be moving, have a look where it mounts to the chassis out riggers.

Yes, i have all the brackets fitted. I can't see any movement in the brakets themselves, the whole lot moves brackets, steering box and bulkhead. I'll have a good check of all fixings in the morning and report back. Thanks
