Sollution for bad steering?

[Jesske]

Can this be the problem? Look at the gap of the rubber. It's the same at both sides of the car. When I drive a few meters, the gap can be on the other side

Definately does not look right, should be tight against the bulkhead. Can you hear knocking when driving?

My advice would be to make sure the top mount nut is tight for a start and see if that cure the problem

 

[Jesske]

No nocking, but little shaking. Thought it could be the wishbones and balljoints, but when I looked at this!!

Thats Ok what the problem?

It mves since thats the shocks and the wheel moves up and down moving the shock angle.

 

[Jesske]

So there is no problem? The rubbers don't have to touch the chassis?

 

[Fred@BTM]

no the rubber top cap MUST NOT touch the chassis, if it did you wouldn't be able to turn the steering

Thank you

My mistake if they arent supposed to touch, only had the car a couple of weeks.

Sure about this though? top mount nut should be pretty tight!

 

[Jesske]

the mount is almost on top and I can move the rubber a bit

doesn't need to be that tight either

get a mate to turn your steering wheel while you look under the bonnet at the top mounts, then you might believe me!
