Rich_p 23 Posted July 15, 2008 Bottom arm bushes gone or balljoints/ track rod ends I'd imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

large 33 Posted July 15, 2008 As above or maybe the bolt is loose. Also check the hole the ball joint goes into isn't oval. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted July 15, 2008 What does it indicate when the following happens: It means 2 things: 1 - you don't spend enough time on this forum. Bad boy. You need more dedication to the community 2 - you didn't do a search before posting Had either of the above applied, you'd have seen about 50 gazillion topics on the same subject.

Trick 1 Posted July 15, 2008 i had my track rod ends changed last year but only done 500 miles on them. Had an MOT since and advisory said that there was play in the nearside track rod end ball joint - does that mean it wasnt fitted correctly - or a case of not tight enough?

Alastairh 47 Posted July 16, 2008 Hello mate. Long time no speak If it had an advisory on the TRE. Id certinly be inclined to look at it. Where ever its fine, or a cheap faulty copy, worn hub, loose bolt etc is something you'll have to jack the car up and have to look at it. Most commonly its the wishbone bushes. When were they / the whole units changed? Also checked the hubs for being oval. 20 minutes under the car should show the obvious problem. Al Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paintguy 0 Posted July 16, 2008 It's called torque steer, not something you generally get on a 205 due to the driveshaft design, but the guys above have highlighted the possible causes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BusEngineer 7 Posted July 16, 2008 Wishbones, get it jacked up and a bar in them, any play in either bushes or balljoint and you have found a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
