Hi all.
i have an 02 clio 1.5 dci. 64000 on the clock. The problem I have noticed is slight play on the passenger wheel at the 3 an 9 when pushed and pulled. No play at 12 and 6. I took the car to a well known outfit who said driveshaft. On looking I do have a slit in the boot so will be changing this soon. However I can not see how a driveshaft can cause this play so took it elsewhere.
I was suspecting track rod end but couldnt see any play. The second garage put the car on shaker playes and suspected the steering rack. However the play is only on the one wheel. I would suspect worn drive to show slop both sides and not just one. I also believe this would dissapear when the wheel was turned and new teeth engaged.
so im left with track rod end but can see play. Inner tie rod. Again cant see any play. Anybody got any ideas begore i go on a wild parts change?
cheers
