Legacy BH - is it power steering gearbox

Featured Replies

Hi!

Here's the situation: shitty road, turning and you can hear clunk coming from the front.

Suspect no1 is power steering gearbox. No leaks from it though,

Clunk at the beginning of video:

Any ideas?

Greets.

not in a situation to listen right now, steering racks on Soobs are fairly robust. more common for clunks to be from ; rear bushing of lower control arm, loose/broken sway bay or SB end link, perhaps inner tie rods. All suspension needs checking.

suspect a suspension problem. Check ball joints, tie rods for any looseness.

Ball joints & sway bar end links have been replaced recently.

I'll check tie rods then.

 

EDIT:

Tie rods are fine. Steering gearbox has looseness on the racks causing that noise on video.

I tried to use a screw which is below gearbox but no effect. Guess I have to get use to it.
