hi all
The RR has just failed its MOT on a few silly things, but one im not sure how to sort is that the front wheel touches the radius arm on full lock. Its the OSF, and only the OS. The NS is fine.
The guy at the station seemed to think that there is a steering stop lock missing, but im not sure!
Is it a case of lengthening the track rod by a few mm? Surely this is going to affect the tracking?
MArk.
Mark,
There is a bolt on the swivel (on each side) - obviously the length the bolt is unscrewed on the offside will affect the nearside lock..and vice versa....
Wot he said.
Easy enough to spot the right bolt as you can usually see where it's been making contact with the thingy.

no, adjust the steering stop. 's on the front of the swivel housing. You need to wind out the one on the opposite side a bit.
Jack the thing onto axle stands under the front axle so it's sitting level, then have an "assitant" turn the wheel lock-to-lock, you'll soon spot the lockstops, looks like a big bolt sticking out from the front of the swivel - at full lock it hits the axle casing or part thereof. If the lock stop *is* missing, you should spot this too.
I think the RR ones are just a 10mm bolt (17mm head) but could be wrong, with a locknut. wind it out about half a turn, if it's there. If not, look at the other side, and acquire simialr and fit it. I believe the "correct" clearance is 20mm, although in practice, if it doesn't touch, it's fine.

unless it really is missing...:-)
The adjuster on the other side will still be there.
