Offside rear anti-roll bar has excessive play in the ball joint

Centre steering box has relative movement between sector shaft and drop arm.

Hi Tony, you need to get the guy to point out the exact steering part you need. Chances are Milners will have that too. You might be able to print off the steering linkages from the online manual, wait for Briggie or Zippy to post the link :lol

agreed, his steering box failure is a bit vague, needs to show you what part because the steering is pretty complex on these cars i think, i.e. lots of links etc

What's a "Centre" steering box?
You do have ONE steering box and one steering idler.
The woolly description sounds like the steering box and that can be adjusted a bit.Selector shaft sounds more like gear box to me:augie

as per my last post, try adjusting steering box preload as per manual, makes a load of diferance, no more pulling to left or wandering, or your fault could be relay box.
ball joints milners.
sounds a cheep mot, if you do it yourself.
no welding?

bit of welding but on an advisory notice
when the guy showed me it seem to be a shaft at the back of the steering with a joint on each end when i said howmuch would that cost for the part he said about 80 quid roughly but dont know what the part is called but my mate two doors down who build landies and other stuff is looking at it this morning and i trust him more than the MOT guy

Had mine done last year, Milner's supplied the "steering idler".

tracking

well parts fitted tracking roughly but the local garages says they are a specialist job the truck has to be weighted or something like that

any ideas ??

 

[11redrex]

Take it somewhere that's not scared to do it properly ?

 

[jace]

read that before,to do job properly it needs someone sat in it maybe bag spuds do job?

what to do the tracking? news to me, surely thats true for any car?? I mean how much does a terrano sag when someone sits in it, like not at all maybe?

what does the Manuel say?
