My first post in LADSOC, Hi all[] I think I have problem with excess steering play, car seems to "tramline" quite a lot. Just wondering what the most common causes are so I can start elimenating a few potential causes. Any ideas? Steering rack? Universal joint? Wheel bearings? Worn Bushes? etc etc . . . BTW ~ Car is an my93 JDM WRX
Hi Kevin, welcome aboard mate!![8D] Tramlining is a popular topic when it comes to steering related issues, but im no expert on the subject[] No doubt your question will attract a few answers and suggestions from the guys though! You at the next meet? cheers Steve.
Could be any of those, but could equally just be geometry and/or tyres. If you haven had it done yet I would suggest getting your geometry checked at a Subaru specialist (JI and AJ Whites are 2 that spring to mind []) and ask whoever does it to check for any play in the rack/bushes/balljoints etc. Andrew...
Thanks for the responses guys, I am going to have to get the car up on jacks and have a quick look myself. Ultimately I guess I will have to have it looked at by the "professionals" With regard to the meet, I hope to get across. Cheers~ Kevin
