Hi all... i've been getting vibrations on steering to the anti-right and i've been fossacking around under the car today and it looks like the drivers side steering arm is a bit loose...

would this account for wobble on left turns on acceleration?

Aaaaannd... can you change a steering arm without taking the rack out?

yeah, just make sure that "IF" you swap the arm out for another one that it`s the matched arm to the same as the other side many different arms around & don`t want to mis-match em,,,yukky steering then, (check the part numbers on em, should be an odd number (L/H) & the very next even (R/H) one would make up the pair) probly need to re-new the dowels in there too & locktite em all in & crank up the torque on the bolts & locktab em down etc

& yeah, you`re funny

you should be on stage...

thanks.. cheers for that, matt.. so what's the availability of the arms? hens teeth or dime-a-dozen?

oh.. and also.. you once (ages ago)mentioned the easy way to remove the radiator.. care to list it again.... maybe poeee can make it a proper HOW TO:
