For no reason i can fathom the steering on my truck has gone very vague . I reversed out of the back yard last night on full lock and while straightening up still reversing i heard what i thought was a plastic pop bottle getting crushed . When i checked there were 2 plastic bottles at the side of the lane and an empty can of pop , none were crushed but i figured one had just been clipped and sprung clear .
Either that or the noise related to my front anti-roll bar bushes which are in bits , new ones are on the way .
However as my journey continued i couldn't help feeling the steering was very light and when at the first 90 degree turn i realized i had just turned the steering wheel a full 360 to get around it I drove home slowly with my foot on the clutch ready to slam on the brakes .
It was too dark to see anything and pouring down with rain last night so i've been out this morning searching for a fault . I can't find anything ?
The only thing that raises my curiosity is the sliding joint a couple of inches above the steering spacer i fitted with the body lift . I removed the locking nut and still can find only very minor play , but i'm curios because while looking through the slot in the collar the flat piece of rod inside looks shiny which makes me think it may be slipping .
Surely no bush in the anti-roll bar can't be the cause ?
Any suggestions ?
