heavy steering

Postby John_D on Tue Apr 18, 2006 4:48 pm

my mk3 fezza has heavy steering when u turn the wheel more than 3 inches either side (the 1st 3 inches i can move it easily with my pinky), may be my imagination but it seems the more u turn the wheel the heavier it gets, this is a non power-steering model, i also have a st24 so im not sure if it is heavy or the fact that im used to the st

i have changed a number of steering componats, the rack, uj, 2 track-rod ends, offside wish bone and had the tracking done, all these were needing changed, but im sure its heavy, parking is a right pain

so

do u guys think its heavy or am i going nuts? :bonkers:

Have a check of your tyre pressures and see what they say :) Seems a bit odd to have such a large amount of what sounds like free play though...

it seems heavier when turning to the right, now this is the side i changed the wishbone on, could this mean the left side may need changed?
