I have been thinking my steering was a little wayward this last few weeks but after a long drive with the club on Sunday it was definitely worse so I decided to have look as the memsahib was in and could waggle the steering white I crawled under to have a look.
It would appear that the two centre bracket bolts have worked lose on the steering rack!!! lock tab in place so I cant see how.
So now a job to tighten them ,
I hope that the plate or bolts are not warn,if so are they available?
My car is a 3.7 Roadster with Power steering and has done 11,000 miles and is 30 months old so not high miles ,has anyone else had this problem.

Thanks ,yes in to that just wo dered if the parts are available. I got my lock tab off Williams, they kept stock in When replaced I used locktite on the bolts and made sure the locking tab was securely folded, then a dab of paint to act a as simple tell-tale for quick future inspections

Your fault has come up on here before. Here is a gomog link steering rack Reading through this gomog advice I dismantled these links some time ago and replaced the centre link bracket even though it showed no sign of failure. White marked all the fastening and often check them.

Serviced . 30/30 (30 months or 30,000 miles) I think is the warranty. Mine runs out tomorrow, expecting to find mine fallen to bits tomorrow when I open the garage.
