Rack Possibly Bent

Recommended Posts

Craigb

After running as the course opener on a road rally last week , my Navi sent me down a road that i wouldn't take a tank down , never mind a 205.

 

The up shot was we came to a very abrupt stop in a large hole .

 

On checking the car yesterday , i have found :-

 

a Drop link that is now 'S' shaped and an inch shorter O/A

A crack where the chassis rail meets the shell

An indentation an inch deep where the anti roll bar met the chassis leg.

I think the rose joint is Knackered , but not yet fully investigated.

My maniflow manifold has a crack 2/3 round one of the branches

 

The steering is stiff , hence post re the rack , is there a method to follow to check the status of the rack

if it hit it hard enough to bend the rack upwards youve probably bent the subframe too!

take the bolts out of the rack and see if steering is easier then try re fitting the bolts

also check if both brackets are in line still (ive twisted one in my rally car!)
