HELP! Steering damper on 110 missing

which UJs are you talking?

on the props? its ok to have play when you turn it, as long as its not on the actual UJ.
some people think they have play on the UJs, and its not, its just slack on the gear/transfer box... which is perfectly normal

He said has perceptible play in the UJs in the steering column shaft between the steering wheel and the steering box.
There should be NO free play in these joints, none at all.

i thought it was props as he said his wife was happy to go and check under the landy....

dont need to get under it to check belt or steering column ujs

Belt slack is the first thing to check ( also the easiest ), lift the bonnet when idling and watch the belt, if it has a ' wobble ' as such then tighten it up, if you need guidance then use the search function, it's very helpful.

Unless you're talking about steering rack UJ's ( which i highly doubt you have checked as you sent the wife underneath to check the belt, so you're struggling working out where anything is atm ) then checking the propshaft UJ's has nothing to do with your steering.

The last one was really tae show where the adjuster plate is

Hi Folks, A BIG thank you to everyone who contributed advice. Tightening the belt made a big difference, loosening the steering box after that was good and fitting the damper as a final step has led to 100% performance. Bought the new UJ's but am keeping them in reserve as all is fine now. Thanks again folks. Pete.
