Loyale steering play...


Recommended Posts

I took my red sedan out yesterday after it sitting for a while. There is play in the wheel that results in a floting feeling on the highway.

 

I haven't had a chance to investigate it yet, but I am thinking tie rod ends. Does this sound reasonable?

 

Is this XY tire wiggle the way to confirm?

Funny thing you mention that... last night driving after work I was thinking to myself that my steering I pretty dammed good but kinda weird that I drive straight but when I need to correct it sticks in that small adjustment...none the less... for your adjusments here is a link from our board...

The experience I have from my other car-1970 Pontiac Tempest-I had the floaty and it was alot!! When I first got it... when you make the steering gear adjustment make them very small! I figured it was so much play that i needed to adjust alot... but! When i did and went for a test drive.. it practically locked!! Very small adjustments sir! ;)
