Hicas Query...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

my 33 gtst makes a slight clunking noise from the rear left when i turn hard right.

i put the car up on a hoist and played with everything i could get my mits on while shaking the wheel to see where the shudder is coming from and it's the rear steering. nothing's loose at all, but inside the little box in the centre you can feel the shuddering when you shake the rears.

now my question is this...

i'm putting in a HICAS lock bar anyway... will this hold it in place and solve the problem, or will i have to buy another rear steering setup from a wreck AND fit the lock bar?

[rich flavour]

i have a lock bar in mine and have had no problems. i dunno what you mean by "will this hold it in place" i hope mine holds everything in place.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

will it hold the broken bit in mine in place? of should i be replacing the whole rear steering unit... or can i just take it out?

is there a lock bar that replaces the steering unit?

[Adriano]

A lock bar replaces the steering rack, a hicas eliminator doesn't.

take the hicas globe out from the dash if it stays on after ya fit ya bar . from what i have seen some cars the light will still come on other cars it stays out .

i took the globe out anyway no light now lol

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Yeah, that was the plan if it stays on

[Jmaac]

Yes the light will stay on, and a lockbar will only hold the rear wheels in a straight line. It will not correct the rest of the steering geometry in the rear

after you put the lock bar in be sure to get a wheel alignment, my hicas light is on but I got used to it pretty fast so I've just left it to shine!!

[FATAZZ]

+ 1 for letting in Shine! lol

yeh i think those steering arms your talking about weren't replaced on mine,only the big arm in the dead centre of the hicas unit was replaced.
