Propshaft Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 The rack on my 7 is reasonable new the tracking is ok but there is a lot of free play on the steering wheel is there any adjustment to take this up thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveR Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 There isn't any adjustment other than the rack. But, you should check the joints and clamp on the steering shaft. The are two joints between the bulkhead and the rack. Check these for play. The clamp inside the car, may not be torque up fully. Also check the steering wheel is tight on the shaft.

Peter Cobbold Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 There is a rather nasty-designed nylon sleeve inserted in the firewall that can wear and allow the shaft to wander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, they go hard with age and can disintegrate. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
