mgray04 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I recently bought a 1997 impreza 2.0 turbo. The steering was all over the place. I recently changed the inner raco joints and end as they had play. And seemed better. But at high speed it's all over the place!! Wonders everywhere!!!! Any tips on what it could be. Also round roundabouts the steering wheel sometimes pulls the other way
Pommy Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Could be a brake grabbing for some reason, may happen all the time but only noticeable at high speeds and when cornering, could be the alignment out, something bent somewhere. Worth having a look and seeing if you can see anything really obvious wrong although it sounds like you have already done this.
Jay762 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 could be a worn steering rack but I would also check your wheel hubs for play
mgray04 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Iv checked all the wheels and no play. Apart from the inner joints which iv changed! I'm stuck
Gambit Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I know one of the members was telling me last night about a problem a bit like this. Turns out when it was having a service they lifted the engine and didn't replace it properly that gave him some steering problems I'd maybe have a look at that too worth a look anyway.
Tlag Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Check the engine mounts. If one has split, the car will pull one way or the other when accelerating or braking. 3
Pommy Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 How do the engine mountings cause wayward steering? I beleive people when they say they do. Just wondering why really.
