So I'm on a dual carriage way and doing 60 or 70 is on a long sweeping left hander and the steering wheel starts to vibrate like fuck, it's like driving down a cobbled street, reckon it needs a new rack rod end lever arm? |

Ours did that. A new kingpin cured it. |

Kingpin appears to be fine, as it should be only changed 3-4000 miles ago. |

Wheel bearing? |

will that be evident when I jack it up? I believe that was changed at the same time as king pins. |

if you jack it up and hold the wheel at something like 10 past seven and give it a good old wobble you should be able to see if something is amiss.... |

Ok will jack it up and grease everything on Tuesday, I guess then we'll see what it is. |

Does sound a similar noise on my old white 2cv, in which I replaced king pins (still there), then control arms (a little better) then had the rack reconditioned. There is a little bush inside that wears out and can cause clonking, but I don't recall if that's shown n long curves. I'm thinking first check the lever arms. |

See here.....Identical problem.... viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3550 Sean replaced kingpin, good s/h steering arm, and accurately adjusted track rod end, problem solved |

No play whatsoever at all NON in either of the wheels when jacked up, so does that point to track rod lever arm? |
