SO, IM LOOKING FOR BAD TIERODS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THIS PROBLEM,YESTERDAY I LIFTED THE DRIVERS FRONT TIRE LEAVING THE OTHER DOWN AND BEGAN ROCKING THE WHEEL FROM THE 9OCLOCK AND 3 O-CLOCK POSITIONS AND LEARNED THAT BOTH WERE MOVEING WITH LITTLE OR NO PLAY,THE PLAY WAS IN THE FEED BACK TO THE LOCKED STEARING WHEEL.,,,,,,SO MY QUESTION IS ,IS THIS NORMAL TO 914 RACKS OR IS MINE WORE OUT??HOW MUCH PLAY SHOULD YOU HAVE THERE?

Hi Driver66... welcome to the BBS!!
You might be looking at loose/worn wheel bearings. /edited - Sorry... Didn't read that correctly. Nix the worn bearings./ Worn steering rack? Rare, but it happens. How are your tie-rod ends? If they're showing signs of slop, a upgrade to the Turbo Tie-Rod kit can really tighten things up. Has your car been lowered from stock? If so, was the bump-steer kit installed? That will correct the suspension geometry and you won't feel the steering wheel jerk everytime you hit a bump. -Rusty |
