ticking noise and streering problem

[tommyhine5]

hi
this is quite hard to explain so sorry if i confuse any one
my steering seems to feel light, and when goin round corners it seems to pull against me :S
i have taken it to a garage and they checked tracking and trackwood ends etc and said everything was fine
also i ahve a ticking/clicking noise coming from underneath my car (driversside)
does any one knwo what these could be?
thanks

i reckon steering rack maybe, that would explain the pulling against you. if your accelerating hard and steering, could just be torque steer. does the ticking stop when you put the clutch down? cos that could be the thrust bearing, meaning a new clutch really mate, hope that helps :)

[tommyhine5]

no the sound doesnt go when i put the clutch down mate
how would i check if the steering rack has gone or would i need to ask a garage to check it

[Mrphish89]

best to take it to a grage to be honest, up to extent they can just tighten it but other than that you might need a new one. dependent on how low you have the car can affect the steering. doesn the ticking get faster when you accelerate?

[tommyhine5]

is that going to cost alot to replace? my cars got 2 weeks left on teh warranty, so best get it sorted lol
no it goes away when i pull off or rev it

[Mrphish89]

lol, just get it in the garage asap and get the replacements on warranty :)
are you sure the ticking goes away or is it drowned out by your 4-2-1 and induction? lol

[tommyhine5]

yh it goes away cause i havent got an induction kit or manifold, i want one though lol
cheers for ya help mate ill take it in 2moro
