Too much play in the steering is an MOT failure, generally down to a worn rack though. I don't think the knuckle on its own would give you too much cause for concern in the short term. ** Nissan Tech

Good points Marc makes. Alternatively get a good virus checker (I use Norton 2002) that checks incoming and outgoing mail. It's been well worthwhile recently with lots of stuff picked up (all incomin

I am a little confused...which bolts are you having problems with? Have you separated the steering arms from the vertical links (is this what you call the knuckle?) because I don't think you should.

Sorry John, I misunderstood which bit you were working on. I would check that the bolt goes easily through the coupling without the steering column inserted (to check for too open / closed condition)

If you suspect 'cupping' then take a nice big (thick) feeler gauge (say 30 thou) and set this gap between push rod and rocker. Then take a thinner gauge (say 10 thou) and *count* then number of turns

Sorry to hear about this Mike. Unfortunately it is an offence 'not to display' a tax disk. So even if you have one and the DVLA computer agrees then any passing copper or traffic warden can report yo

I'll defer to a better informed lister if someone replies, but DOT 3 would be safest. DOT 4 may rot seals. DOT 5 is expensive if you have a leak and not as useful in clutch applications as brakes. Qu

Sounds like the tracking (wheel alignment) is out a little, often caused by clipping a kerb with the wheel. The ends of the steering rack have threaded adjusters so that the direction of the wheels c
