Steering is wrong!

[Gary C 0]

I'm sure this subject has probably been done to death but

I have just bought  a 1990 205 gti 1.9

 it has had a quafe LSD fitted, 309 gti drive shafts, 309 gti lower arms, 309 gti anti roll bar, new anti roll bar links, Gaz coil overs, new track rod ends .

New rear beam, new bearings, seals and bushes, and gaz adjustable dampers.

 

However the steering and handling is appalling, especially at low speed, as in turning off of my drive, or parking, it clunks, tries to pull the steering wheel out of your hand on lock, sounds like somethings lose ( it isnt).

 

I wouldn't dare drive it at speed to be honest, it just doesn't feel safe, its vague, you don't feel properly connected in any way.

 

Ideas folks?

Oval front hubs would be the first place I would look. Where the pinch bolt arrangement clamps to the wishbone ball joint.

2nd thought; too long LH 309 driveshaft, having no clearance on tight corners and hitting the diff?

Thank you I will also mention that to the guys.

 

I am taking it to Pug1off on Friday, hopefully they can sort it out.
