JOHN LEARMONTH Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hii have some play in my steering rack i have seen a kit for the bottom bush on flea bay for £12 and i was wondering how difficult it is to change ? its either that or a full recon rack at £120my other problem is that its quite difficult to tell exactly where the play is on the rackThanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 John,Is the bush on the 'Bay not the one for the bottom of the column? There is not much you can do if the play is actually in the rack other than have it overhauled. Having said that there is some adjustment available for the end float. Visit www.triumphstag.net and go to the Technical Area => Suspension & Steering. Scroll down and in the Assembling Power Steering Rack section, Line 19 onwards describes adjusting endfloat and greasing the rack.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakaday Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Are you sure its the rack and not in the UJs on the steering shaft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sorbington Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Check the hub bearing adjustment too, a little play in one wheel bearing can cause all sorts of aggro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN LEARMONTH Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thanks Guysi havent had a chance to get to it yet i had a more pressing things to attend to this weekendsaturday being a nice dry day i decided to take the car out for its monthly warm up ride just to keep everything movinghowever i realised when i got in the car that i had left the handbrake on didnt give it a thought until i tried to move the car and you have guessed it the brakes were locked solidfirst i tried just to drag them off that didnt work and to be honest i chickened out when the revs reached 3000 on the basis that at that i would be launched into next doors garden if it suddenly let goit was quite an interesting feeling tho with lots of noise, smoke and the rear of the car sinking into the garage floor withouit actually going anywhere so i pulled the wheels off and used a big hammer and lots of heat to free the rear shoes offby the time i had finished it was 4pm and i had to go play football all day with nothing to show for it what a plonker roll on next sunday when i can finally have a look at actually doing some usefull workJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
