STEERING PROBLEM -- THINK STEERING BOX.
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2017 10:52 am
This has been going on for a while, but now is getting worse. My friend put the bug on his lift and checked the wheels, and wheel bearing, shocks entire from suspension and found the car safe to drive -- meaning nothing is going to fall off and I crash into a wall or go off a cliff. But weight of the bug was on the lift, wheels were not lifted.
. The problem the steering is rough, when driving straight if I move the wheel it will grab and stay in that position till I pull it back. Dangerous!!!! Mind of it's own.
So I did a simple test, Jacked the front end off the ground and turned the steering wheel it is rough throughout the range. Tried adjusting the steering wheel gap and yes that works but rough moment is throughout the range.
I am guessing the the Steering Box.
Next question. Can I remove it by just taking off the front wheels, without removing the gas tank.
