Loose steering arms on 80 series

Submitted: Friday, Oct 03, 2003 at 11:37

Dont know if it is normal but have noticed that a couple of the steering arms (maybe panhard rod, dont really know the name of it) up the front has about 45 degrees of play in it. It is the rods with the rubber bushes on either end. How tight should this be and could it be responsible for the car feeling light on the road some times and tracking with road grooves on occassion?

Any help appreciated and hope I have'nt been too ambigous with my explanation.

Cheers

Charlie

gday charlie.
yes thats right no play expecially in panhard.get someone to push the front of the car sideways from the guard and look where the play is.bushes are pretty cheap and you will notice a huge differencejamieson wild cat
