Cheers for the reply Paul
Just had the wagon in getting the rear shocks, which pretty much weren't doing anything as the rubbers had gone!!! Grr
Asked him to check the steering rods etc he say's there fine but on my mates they don't move a mm like mine do..
Just wondering whose's wagon is right..He thinks that his might be to tight but I really don't know.
And now everytime I'm not moving and turn the wheel to the left there is a eeeerrrrrrr sort of noise, but when driving all is fine...totally stumped
Regards Stu
That noise is normal its the power steering straining a bit because its not moving.
Mine does exactly the same as yours, it was fine until I bent the rear steering rod, and damaged the damper. Not an impact as such, yes I had hit a few other stumps and damaged the bodywork underneath but it was bent because I drove over a stump, the steering guard dropped it onto the rear steering and most of the damage was caused getting it off.
The vehicle drove ok after but during an inspection to get the mud and forrest off I noticed the bent arm and damper bashed and leaking. But it still drove ok!!
I straightened the steering rod and fitted a paddocks, probably britpart damper, and low and behold mad steering. I then bought a new rod, and still mad, steering aligned and still the same, took the damper back off and made sure it was bled/primed ok, still same.
I changed the drag link end at the same time, marked it and fitted it back exactly the same place, but cant see how this would cause this unless the steering was aligned where the knuckle joint on the steering box was in an adverse position but its not. Tried playing with the steering alighnment and with more toe in, but fokal use.
However I saw a thread on here where somebody was asking about where the damper should be, and somebody commented that the drag link was fitted wrong.
All my bearings, joints etc are fine, so my opinion is it's either the damper that is ****, or its something to do with the set up of the drag link, and I have fitted trillions of them to trucks so its got me fooked.
But it's frightening on the road if you hit a bump, resonates until you get the speed down.
So have you touched the drag link, or damper, had the damper off to check its still working?
If a couple have worn and are gone they they might all be going ...
