NeilTindle Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Juddering through the steering wheel when braking at 60+mph. Pads and discs look ok and not warped but there is what looks like a lot of play at the inner end of the track rod arm where it connects to the rack. Is this adjustable, repairable or is it a new rack? Quote
alan_131 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Ebay have a listing Inner Tie Track Rod - Ford Galaxy 95->06 Steering For about £21 incl delivery. I have no idea of the quality of this part, but assume you can also buy the same from other places. Sorry, but I don't know if Galaxy has adjustable joints, but I've spent ages in the past trying to get just the right compromise between smoothness,pre-load , etc on older cars and FWIW if it was me I'd just fit the new joint, unless this is much more difficult than adjusting the old one (my guess - unlikely). Others more skilled or knowledgable (most people then) might have a different view. I hear that this used to be checked as part of the MOT, but not any more? Edited June 17, 2012 by alan_131 Quote
chromedome Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Warped discs are not normally visible with the naked eye, normally checked with a vernier guage. Even slightly warped discs will give wheel wobble when braking at high speed. Not sure about play at the inner end of the track roods, no doubt someone on this forum will give you good advice on that. Quote
