R33 Steering

[evil_weevil]

Hey guys,

Just recently Ive noticed this with my 33...

Reverse out of garage and do some turns to get out of my driveway and basically each quarter turn I can feel in the steering a bit of a shudder/bad vibration and you can also hear it.

While driving, say around about or anything - once again - same thing.

And no guys, I havent been out street drifting and hit a kerb

Just wondering has it happened to anyone else and what is the solution?

Ive got driftland on friday night so I want the car for that, but if the steering is playing up - I dont want to brake anytihng else

Cheers guys,

Chris

Actually,

I forgot to mention, only recently I have put in (well, mechanic did) a HICAS lock bar....

Could that be the issue perhaps?

chris,

is it happening at all speeds? and did it start happening after putting the lock bar in?

maybe have a look under and start shaking stuff and see if anything loose

wat type of noise does it make? could be ur diff?

Stephen,

nah its front end mate - just thought maybe the hicas lock bar and together with whole steering system has put something out?

Someone else mentioned rack and castor to check - so will have to get the car jacked up!

Hey chris, I had the same problem mate, you can hear it groaning a bit right? It's probably just air in your power steering lines, all you do is turn the ignition on and sit there going from side to side full lock until the noise goes away. Have fun it can take a while!!

Steve!

Hi mate!

I hope thats all it is hey!

I jacked the car up (didnt get time to make it to my mechanics today) and I can see some fluid leaking somewhere.

Looks like the rubber bit on one of the steering arms

Could be the answer....

well, time to book it in...again....d'oh

At least I can get the rest of my suspension finnished!

Hey man, i had the same problem with my baby. the issue was resolved by taking a rattle gun to all the bolts on the suspension swing arms and so forth that were in the front end of the car.

Easy peasy

Hey guys,

Took the car in, and it was actually my oil coolier braided line, i had broken the bracked when I came off at Oran Park and the line was on one of the steering parts causing the vibration!

So not much money later and Ive got a brand new, better bracket there and shes all good

Man I worry too much
