steering?
Posted: Sun May 17, 2009 10:20 pm
hey guys i think i have an issue, the story goes like this:
I was driving up a sand dune and then launched off it, it may have been 2-3 metre drop. Upon landing I noticed my steering was not straight any more and upon cheeking for damage both front wheels were wobbling. I limped the car home, so I thought maybe the bearings were shagged so I took the front hub bearing out and repacked/regreased it. That solved the wobbly wheel issue.
I am running 30" tyres (standard height) at the moment, it used to scrub when it was in full lock, now it only scrubs wen its in full lock turning right, as when i turn left in full lock it does not scrub at all. On top of that when i turn it takes more revolutions to turn (eg. turn left at an intersection i would now have to do one FULL revolution of the steering wheel instead of half of that as what it used to be).
any help ?
