Steering ease of ?


Recommended Posts

Hope you can advise.... so this morning 

jacked front of car up both frt wheels removed.... to grease everything ...

i was expecting the steering to be very easy to turn... whilst it wasn’t difficult ist seems more stiff than I would expect .... read somewhere that as the suspension is fully un loaded, the steering to track rods make it slightly more difficult...  everything looks fine otherwise......

Iirc it’s a known issue that the top ball joints begin to bind up at full suspension droop. 

+1 Take the load off the suspension by lifting the chassis by a couple of inches and try again. It's a mistake to expect swivelling parts on steering to work easily at full extension, the arms will hardly ever extend that much (and then only momentarily under normal running and compliance of the suspension in use.
