corsa c steering
Discussion
hey..
I have the dreaded left hand pull... no matter what I do to her she always ends up pulling left..
had from brand new - replaced the passenger wishbone (1 year ago approx)
replaced both track rod ends - approx 2 months ago
had it tracked no end of times..
starting to get to point where I just dont know what to do anymore...
had front end up on stands and did the wheel lock to lock and cant feel anything with the rack (common problem)
had a look at the steering torque sensor.. http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/other-mechanical-el...
but not got there as yet..
help

I've had it from brand new, its done 76k miles and been doing this for about 2 maybe 3 years, I just lived with it.
I think maybe it is the rack after all, but tbh I dont mind this.. I can do it myself and my dad or mate to help me, 3 hours the book says but can take mt time over a weekend.
Not badly priced on ebay etc with warrenty, which tbh probably means more then Vauxhalls own (they do anything to get out of paying for anything)

hey, popped along to VX and got teh usual garble about how they'd have to chekc it and that'll cost this that and the other etc..
Anyway, I was at the scrappy yesterday and talking to a guy who deals in cars, and very politly told me he's had a few like this and said he replaced everything on a corsa before and found it to be the column
My mate runs this scrappy for his dad and have been friends sinceI could first drive.. god 8 years now lol
Anyway he said he'd do me a column for £90, so my next thought is to find out if the columns are the same from corsa c to corsa d (I know the igintion barrel is in different place but the column might be the same) and if they are get a column from a corsa D and fit my anc parts to this and hopefully fitx my car for good, also hoping thatthe newer columns of the corsa D have had better parts fitted and not break again..
If not, another corsa c column it is but try and find the newest with lowest mileage and have a stab at that.. I dont fancy having VX pull down my pants and have their wicked way with me
