Alrighty,
Im having a problem with the g40's steering.
Since building it back up this year and replacing the drivers side steering arm and passengers tie rod ive come across a problem.
When I stuck the wheels back on and dropped the car back to the ground I noticed that the passenger wheel was pointing out by a good bit so I adjusted the passenger side steering arm both at the end that attaches to the rack and the tie rod end to bring the wheel back in line ie roughtly tracked up.
Now to achieve this ive had to wind the adjustable bit of the passenger arms right out so there is between 1/2-1inch of thread left screwed in on both ends of the passenger arm. This seems a little dangerous as id like there to be a bit more thread holding my steering etc.
Now ive read another thread on here with a simialr problem and that turned out to be the drivers side arm being too short but ive measured mine and its the longer version ive got, even with the shorter one, my problem would be amplified.
The other part of this problem if we ignore the fact that there is too much thread showing on the adjustable bits is when I full lock the steering to the right the front of the passenger tyre contacts with the inside of the arch/chassis leg so much so that it will stop the car driving on full lock.
When on full lock left the drivers side tyre is fine.
The suspension set up is an H+R cup kit and I have the g-lader ARB blocks on and they are fitted so the wheels are sitting further forward that standard.
I have tried the car with 2 different sets of wheels, first set where my low offset 7x13 with 10mm spacer and second set were polo 16v 6x14's and both catch.
The only thing i can think of is that I have the wrong threaded middle section on the passenger steering arm ie its too short.
Could someone measure the length of both steering arms for me and if anybody has any clues for what to try as this really is the last hurdle i need to overcome before mot time!!!
