Light Heavy Steering

Recommended Posts

Guest Greengti

Hi

 

I have recently brought another 205 an old e-reg 1.9.

 

I have noticed that the steering is much lighter turning right then it is turning left and there is a small clunk on direction change.

 

I have read other posts and people are saying that teh following could be to blame:

 

suspension top mounts

track rod end universal joint

 

Is there anything else i should be looking at? any help would be very much appreciated.

 

cheers

 

Adam

I had a similar problem and it did turn out to be the U/J, so I'd check that first....

As above the U/J would be my first port of call.

As aboth U/J. Jack the front of the car up (so both front wheels in the air) and move the wheels side to side. If they go light/heavy/light/heavy it's the U/J. PAS and non PAS are different. The PAS one from pug is about £130. www.peugeotparts.co.uk did me a genuine one (pattern not available anyway AFAIK) for about £50.

Basically they sit very close to the exhaust and the heat drives the grease out of them.

PM if you need fitting advice

Eurocarparts used to sell a pattern PAS lower column, my mate bought one and it turned out to have a rubber bush like a Clio one, we tack welded round it to make it solid and it seems fine. Actually I just realised its now fitted to the shell we got from you Phil :blush:
