Pa Challenger - Steering column rattle - Anyone solved it??
Hi, Im new to the site and love it already, great advice and good tips everywhere but...
Has anyone actually solved/fixed the steering column rattle in the PA Challenger, which by all accounts is a very common problem?
As I drive along
, the rattle starts, sounding like it is coming from within the first 30cm of the steering column, level with the indicator arm etc. When I push the steering wheel slightly up or down, the rattle stops. It is a "tiny" rattle, like the bloke on the Supercheap add with the earrings in the ashtray type rattle. (I feel his pain!
)
I've checked all the mounting points, the height adjuster etc to no avail. It is starting to do my head in as it seems to be getting worse!
Is this a bearing issue or something similar that can be replaced or is it something I have to put up with or get a new steering column? (I don't want to have to do that!)
Since I have done the wheel bearings, greased the "joints" and replaced the worn rubber bushes, this is the only noise left!
Can anyone help??
