Hi chaps,

I seem to have steering problems!
after fitting the steering column (sierra column in a tiger avon), with all tightened up, the top of the column describes a circle when you turn the column- looks like the column must be bent

anyone had any similar probs?

Have you got the lower bush in?
Steve.

I found that a few Avons have the lower tube (that holds the plastic bush) very poorly aligned and everyone I know had to cut it off and re-position it.

Symptons point to a bent column....

Had the same problem when the lower bush came out.........

Kinda related to wobbly Sierra columns on mine the triangular bush at the upper end of the column has worn. So the sliding inner tringular section can turn a few degrees before the slack is taken up. Might be worth checking.

jump on it that'll get it straightened

All part of the Avon building challenge.
