    Steering play

    90 f22a4... when i drive on uneven roads, it seems like i do alot of extra steering to keep it straight... the car seems to wander.
    the effect is especailly pronounced on gravel roads (cringe, i know)... its not like the tie rods are gone or anything... the steering doesnt feel looose, it just seems like the car shifts over, then i steer a few degrees before the car actually starts moving over..

    is this wierd? my 3g was a dream on loose surfaces, maybe im just not used to the bigger car. but comon, the handling should be better.

    ive done a litlle research and some people emntioned loose steering racks.. is this actually possible, and has anyone had similar problems?
    RIP

    hey

    yes it is possible but if your car is lowered then your toe set is not the same anymore your tires are toed out and your camber is off as well (\ /) like so this is what i do all day alignments and front end work and everything else for ford same senerio though

      my car isnt lowered, but i have adjusted the toe in a bit (two whole cranks on the tie rod) but didnt change a thing... the car also seems pretty unstable sometimes, and is an absolute nightmare in the wet.

      I dunno, its not a predictable problem.. sometimes it handles just fine, sometimes its a basketcase

      i also get vibration around 105km/h, but i think that might be axle related since both cv are starting to click faintly

        i have the exact same problem. but fyi an alignment isnt really something you can do correctly by eyeballing a tierod.

          i used to eyeball my toe, but what i found was i was still a degree off....hehe found that out when i took an alignment class.

          is it easier to turn one way than the other?

          get an alignment dude.

          but at the same case my dads accord, when he would turn he would have to turn the oppisite direction really fast to get the steering wheel to go straight, took alot of effort to turn as well. found out the bushings that hold the rack in place was bad and also later the rack went out.
          What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

          You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

            hmm... there really isnt anything wrong with the steering, i actually kind of like the stiffer feel over my old 3g (and the cb7 is by no means stiff, its just that the 3g i could turn so easily just sticking the end of my pinky in the spokes and cranking like crazy ... good for ebraking lol)

            its definatley no different turning left than right... but i should look at those bushings... that sounds like it might be the issue

              maybe you need new tires and as for the shaking I would try to balance the wheels

                  bushings

                  its prob. ur bushings, the bolts fell out of my rack and the wheel would be cock eyed but it would change from one side to the other and i would still be going strait. if that did happen to u there is a guard under the rack and ur bolts should be in there, unless uve been driving it for a year like that! good luck

                    This condition should make noise and drive terribly in all conditions.

                    Get an alignment.
