help needed

Post by paulsj410 » Sat Apr 19, 2014 9:46 pm

Hi I have a samurai sport ive just bought it and is now my third zuki ive owned. It has a couple of minor problems tho. The first being the steering locks all the way to the left but only turns slightly to the right. Ive been told it could be steering box but also been told that I can just adjust track rods etc. Does any one havr any input? Also im after a external door handle and a indicator stalk. Thanks in advance

Has it got a Vitara PS box and wedge fitted?

Mine did that when the wedge failed. Check the security of the box when turning the steering.

Get someone to turn the steering left and right while you look at the steering box.

If it moves, that's the problem. It shouldn't!
