Im having an issue with the streeing on my 2.0HDI Xsara VTR. Before i had the issue like to point out that i had worn wheel bearings on the front passanger side that were replaced, then had the wheels reballenced an the tracking redone
The issue is this, when i brake the steering shudders from 40 to 30mph and is fine again, also when the just the left wheel hits a bump or pothole the steering wheel gets a tug but this doesnt happen when the right wheel hits a bump or pothole
Other sympoms are that it always pulls to the left, but under hard acceleration it pulls to the right
Other than that the car drives like a dream, very smooth whith no steering vibrations right up 100mph. This was just done to test to see if there was any vibrations at all, i very rarely hit the speedos indicated 80mph (75mph on the sat nav)
I have narrowed this to either a worn track rod end or a bottom ball joint on the passenger side, am i correct in thinking this or could it be something else?
Now have been looking at these two parts and have been able to find them much cheaper than the dealers price but they say they are for the 2.0HDI (90bhp) with no mention of the 2.0HDI VTR (110bhp), would the steering really be that much different between these two cars?
