    Steering Clunk ?

    Hi all, the old D2 has over the past 2 months developed a slight/quiet clunk when steering, I dont know if its related to the ACE, steering box, or something else. Doesnt seem to be getting much worse its just something I want to fix before it does.

    Reasonable advice welcome

    Before you get on my back Pedro, yes I did a search but didnt find I any answers that met with my thoughts

    And I still love the D2, pic here.

    Possible problem in the one of the steering shaft unis between the steering column and the steering box? These become knotchy when turning the wheel.

    Had a steering clunk (D2 99) that generally only kicked in with slightly exaggerated lane changes or correction of the wheels sorta felt like something shifted sideways a tad metal on metal.

    Had the lower ball joints replaced... problem solved. Have a look at the tie rod ends as well.

    Thumbs up

    Thanks chaps

    so tie rod ends are probably a good starting point as its probably the easiest to do. I guess that after 230k klm and 12 yrs all the bushes need replacing by now.
