Can you still get the kits still as the quaife site is being updated.
The reason is mine has just gone jumpy on my way home tonight and is very scary to drive, okay in a straight line but shiit myself on roundabouts :eek:
dont rally design do one?
also, you sure its the rack.... not a collapsed tie rod, or bottom joint

Cheers mate yes they do for £98. :cry:
Edit: I've just had a check and everything else seems okay but when I steer the car while stood still you can see the rack move on the bolts even though there tight.
Any more suggestions appreciated. :)

Bracket holes ovaled maybe? Whip the nuts off and check. Might be a non expensive fix.
possibly snapped a stud of the bulk head?
and when you turn the wheel, does it feel smooth as in the steering rack motion.
i doubt its the rack tbh
and quaife racks are 100 quid im sure,

Martin the bolts are tight but cheers anyway and I know what you mean it's cheaper to get a rack lol The steering actually has a clonking noise and is very tight tbh.
Pete that's a good call I'll have a look at that. I've a feeling that could be the case really as with me running solid top mounts and solid engine mounts the friction must go somewhere, probably there tbh.
Thanks for your help guys. Have some loooooove lol
Deffo check for anything snapped, mates corsa had one snap, and there the same as novas of course.
My corsa has a clunking noise from the rack, the inner ball joint of the rack has worn (Not bad considering its done over 168k)
