Dnk Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Could also be the coupling or knuckle on the steering column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Does a Vitara have a rack or steering box ? if its a box then my monies on the idler arm having play in it. Or the box needs adjusting which is usually a lock nut with a screw which you wind in to take the play out of the worm gear. If it is that only adjust by a very small amount (less than 1/8 th of a turn) at a time as you can make the steering very heavy if overdone.

Geo Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 think its the steering gear guys, i've had the car jacked up, and all rod tie ends have no play etc, the rack goes into the little steering gear box, so going to see if i can adjust it after dinner. cheers for the helps guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
