Steering sound

[machinehead]

I have change my steering coupling(used) after i found there is slight freeplay on my steering wheel. After a few weeks of driving then came the tuk,tuk,noise when I turn the steering wheel.Since I got the used coupling from my mechanic, he oblidge by changing another used coupling. It lasted a month and the noise is here again. I ask whether if I change to a new unit(RM800.00) will the sound still be there after sometime? He say he can't guarantee. So, can anyone here enlighten me on my problem?cheers

hi machinehead,

i had the same thing too. was told to change the steerign coupling but ended changeing the steerign housing n rack instead...

Try checkin yr steerin rack cox if there;s any minor fault, u can opt for the repair kit, no need to change the whole thing..

turned out to be my steering housing also rosak, so changed also..
