Hi everyone. My 24v seems to wander a bit and excessive movement at the steering wheel. I can't see any play in the trackrod ends so persume rack or inner track rods have play.
Is this a known problem and any issues replacing inner rods.
Once again Tia.

I`ve not had any experience with that, and never had to change the inner rods,
I know it may be a stupid question, but are your tyre pressures ok (fronts 32psig)

I'll will check the pressures. When the car is stationary I can wobble rhe steering wheel with a fair bit of movement without the wheels moving. I think I like to find jobs to do

Definitely check the tyre pressures and don't mix tyres of different makes and tread pattern, then I'd start looking at lower wishbone and track rod bushes and ends.
When I picked up the flying machine from Manchester, I wanted to go to Gloucester and it wanted to go to Liverpool... through the central reservation. I had to fix all the above plus two steering oil changes to get the steering right. After that, I guess it might be worth checking the coupling between steering column and rack.
