I’ve just had the car go through the controle technique (MOT) and got an advisory for uneven tyre wear, tracking and play in the steering - there is absolutely no play at the wheel.
I know the kingpins and bushes need changing (I pumped them full of grease immediately before the test) so started the strip down today. The track rod ends are fine though the boots are cracked so I’ll change the ends whilst it’s apart, and there is a little wear in the inner track rod bushes which again I’ll replace.
My concern is I’ve noticed that the centre section of the rack can be rotated a few degrees back and forth - is this normal? I spotted this as I was undoing one of the track rod ends that the other end was moving up and down.
Thanks
