steering UJ

Recommended Posts

My steering goes from easy to turn and then quite stiff

 

I think it may be the UJ, can these be cleaned up and re-greased?

 

Also how difficult are these to take off the car, mine is a phase 1 B plate non PAS

Get some rags under it and souse the whole thing in oil then work the lock to lock with it on axle stands. Do that a few times in a week and it will free up

Another source of stiffness increasing with turn can be worn or old bearings at the top of the struts. Steering can get very heavy. Noticeably stiff without PAS.

I had this issue with my GR. Cleaned the UJ. Soaked in oil then applied grease.  No more problems.
