as above the second problem of the day my steering has always felt very light compared to the other 3drs we have, any suggestions to what could be causing it?

 

Aaron,check the tyre pressures when cold,maybe over inflated causing light steering.

My steering is heavy but I have a cooler on so theirs a chance that it's not getting warm enough but I was suffering from bubbling fluid on long runs so needed sorting

 

already done that mate didn't cure it

Chris my steering feels light when its stone cold or when its hot it has no difference.

 

What front ARB are you running?

 

Original 3dr one mate

 

What's the rack like I remember years ago had a car in the workshop that was super light steering

It turned out the rack was naff changed it and all was fine

 

Looks fine, the seal that hols the pipe with the clamp seems loose as i can move the pipe easy but thats about it

 

But its not leaking etc just can wiggle it around a fair bit

 

check the castor angle mate

 

Have you pressed the city button in error

 

whats the city button lol

 

how do you mean "light steering"

as in "super assisted" or "light in the straight ahead position"?

the one issue i had with all my sierra's was that the steering was just about 1% lighter than i wanted it to be on the 2wd cars and just 1% heavier on the 4wd cars

the biggest effect on it was by changing the arb, but the stiffer ones i fitted made the steering sharper rather than lighter of heavier

 

PMSL!!

 

There were two types, later ones are same as a saph. They have a different effect on castor.

 

Maybe a faulty valve in pump allowing to much assistance

 

to much pump pressure seems most likely.
