While on a long journey, the first
for some months, I became aware that the front steering needed constant
correction. It was being affected by road camber to a degree not noticed
before. This was not noticeable on town journeys, only on high speed
cruising. I had the steering checked during the next service, where it was found
that both the front radius arms had failed. The large inner bushes had split,
allowing the wheel lateral movement which caused the vagueness in the steering.
The front radius arms are not serviceable but are fitted in about half an
hour each side. Cost should be £90 per radius arm and 1 hours labour (£60)
