Clio 182 FF
Hey,
Just wondering if someone can help diagnosing a problem I have with my steering.
For ages i’ve had this problem, whenever I turn right the steering pulls me in more. Basically turning left is fine, go to turn right and I have to hold on tight as I don’t know what the steering is going to do.
When dry steering, you can hear a knock. And you can feel the knock when holding the lower arm.
Also at the last track day I had the car at, the power steering fluid was over the inside of the bonnet. When I opened the reservoir up it was sitting just above full and wasn’t particularly hot to touch. I’m guessing there’s air getting into the system?
Recently I have changed lots of things for new parts. None have fixed the problem.
New lower arms.
New ball joints.
New Steering rack bushes.
New drive shafts
New wheels and tyres
I’ve also had the wheels aligned using a place with a proper laser setup.
So my next theory is it’s the steering rack? Maybe pump?
Or if the overflowing steering fluid is a normal thing during hard driving and not related, then top mounts?
