After a few handling problems,on my Blitz2, recently, I've replaced all of the swivel-joints, (front and rear, top and bottom), also the front rack and track rod ends, together with the rear rack(locked, and used as a suspension locator), and track rod ends, I've also replaced the o/s/f, and n/s/r wheel bearings...... but oddly I still have a little amount of free-play in the n/s/r wheel, as if the track rod end is u/s..... ie the wheel appears to rock slightly when I put my hands in quarter to 3 position (imagine wheel is a clock-face!), with wheel on ground there is approx 2.5mm movement, at edge of tyre, and with wheel jacked up, about 3-4mm. I can see the track rod moving, ever so slightly, with the hub pivoting along the axis formed by the top and bottom swivel joints,... but I don't understand why this should be, since all the parts are new, and where possible, they are shimmed correctly.
When test-driven, a very slight, almost undetectable amount of torque-steer can be felt, and again on braking/accelerating alternating.... which develops into a slight weave....I am racking my brains as to what the cause is.... does anyone have any ideas?
