Slightly strange???
 
Having got my chassis to rolling stage I have noticed that centre to full left hand lock I seem to have approx 1.5 turns but centre to full right hand lock it seems to be approx 2 turns. :eek:

Is this correct or have I made a cock up somewhere? Everything seems to be positioned correctly.....:confused:

Cheers
Russ

Seems like you need to centralise the rack before connecting to the hubs,ie you need the same length extending out of the rack each side to put the steering central.

Yup just sounds like it's not tracked How much thread is in each TRE.

Hi TT

The near side TRE is wound fully on to the rack and the off side has still about 3 threads showing on the rack if that makes sense?

Toe in or out at center?

Problem solved!!! :)

After a bit of fiddling while I was at the shed to check toe in and out I thought i'd take off the steering wheel and line it up correctly.... Looks like I hadn't tightened the nut up properly as I am now getting in the area of 1.75 turns centre to full lock both ways....

In the words of James May..... Oh C*ck :D

Cheers for the help anyways guys
