maddox710 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 lately ive had an issue with my glanza and the way it feels driving down the road, the steering feel is very vague and wonders around the lane on spirited driving its making the car un-enjoyable. im pretty positive my drivers side front bc coilover(7month old) is knocking slightly, and I've had the car up on a ramp and noticed wet steering arm gaitors so pretty sure the rack is on its way out, this coupled with an average alignment and stock glanza seats isnt helping. anyone got any thought on this?

Jay85 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 What you’ve already said seems to be a good place to start, and don’t forget that your rack bushes are 20 + years old too! I’d advise a new rack and full poly bush set if you can afford it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Recommending fully polybushes? Depends how hardcore you want to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maddox710 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 my old (famous) white v had full poly and wasn't that bad, id like to get rack done first, not really a hard job from what I've looked at, anyone done similar job ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Havent heard any feedback about the black series steering rack bushes, 50 quid for the pair. One of the best handling mods i have done was fit a 4 point under brace, ultra racing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Every bush on my GT has been replaced with Poly bushes and it's absolutely fine. Even no PS and I think it's fine to drive. But I know some on here can't stand it.

daniel_g Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Depends what you are used to driving on, i have them on mine aswell, quite stiff sidewalls. Normally ball joints, track rods and lower arm bushes cause the most issues up front on a starlet. Aldo worth noting if the rear beam isnt solid, ie panhard and beam bushes worn, that gives a weird loose rear floaty feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Say if you reckon you have totally annihilated one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 The knocking on the BC will likely be the nut on top of the pillow ball, mine and a couple of others have came loose before and caused a knocking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
