I think I know what needs to be done but I wanted to check for either confirmation or additional items to look for.
Relevant information:
1993 245 B230F
BNE Camber plates -1 degree camber
Caster 0
Polyurethane control arm bushings.
DIY coil over with 400#/in and luxe steer
BNE quick steer roll correction
BNE adjustable swaybar link
IPD swaybar
Cadillac calipers and v70R 330mm rotors
I replaced the rack 4 years ago because of heavy shuddering during turning and again two years ago for the same reason, both from Jorgen Automotive. Starting around two months ago the steering wheel would shudder while braking from anything above 40mph. Starting a couple weeks ago the shaking became progressively worse. As of yesterday and today it has become violent shaking to the point where I should not be driving it. This morning there was a distinct clunk in the front end during severe shaking and the severity decreased.
I have had the car up on jack stands and checked the torque on all the bushing bolts, looked for play in the ball joints, outer tie rods, checked torque on the quick steer roll correction to strut and all bolts are torqued properly.
Is it time for another steering rack and or a replacement inner tie rod? Are there other possibilities that should be checked?
Thank you all.
