Evening All The steering on my 06 225 has started behaving a bit strangely... Got in the car tonight and was completely dead.. popped the bonnet and the earth terminal seemed loose - jiggled it about and she started up fine. I've fixed the loose connection using a small strip of copper and have cleaned up the terminal. So now have a good solid battery connection. The Steering Wheel doesn't re-centre after turning, and occasionally it feels like its pulling to one side as I manually re-centre the wheel. No knocking / obvious issues I can see or feel... havent hit anything either I've seen a reference on here to a re-calibration procedure after battery disconnect that is in MR366X8436B000.pdf - wanted to give this a try before further investigation / potentially expensive fixes Does anybody have a copy they could upload / send to me ? Or list the procedure ? Searched high and low and any links I can find are now broken Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers Drew
hub bearings for sure...all suffer from them seizing eventually. will need to have them rebuilt both sides. Be a little careful driving the car..as the steering can sometimes get very tight at some locks.
several companys do a rebuild kit with the bearing,and the turret that sits inside. But its a fairly intensive amount of work,so wont be cheap,unless you know someone.
Mark Black does it for £150 ish a side, quite a good price ands never stop hearing good about him and his quality of work.
