Oh dear, I seem to have developed a new issue for the new year! smile

on about 3/4 lock I can feel a definite clunk in the steering, sort of like the steering rack is missing a tooth, which wouldnt be good. Is that even likey to happen?

I noticed it when parking, havent tried to repicate it at speed in case its something serious!

Any ideas chaps?

Thanks

Dave

I'm betting it's one of the universal joints, if it is your in luck, cheap part and cheap to replace.

Cool, thank you, I'll have a rummage around under the car on Sunday morning and see what I can see.
