At last, had the time to look at my steering !!

The problem was excessive play even when steering lock is on (can still be pulled about 3cm towards you)

Anyway the problem is at the rear of the colum leading to the steering arms you can see the slack when pulling towards you .It is also very greasy

looked my haynes manual and its vague

anyone got any ideas how to cure !!!!!???????????

cheers

 

If it's not the column adjuster then you probably need a new column.

 

how do i adjust colum??

 

If it has an adjustable column it'll have a lever underneath on the right hand side.

 

is that the one that locks steering wheel in place after adustment ??seat posision etc
because if it is its not at fault ???

 

Yeah, that's the one I mean. If it's not that then it sounds like it could be bust then fella.

 

the colume is not bust but its holded by a spring
is this to blame if it was colume it would be all over the place

any ford mechanics on here help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
