Hi - after my last track day (awesome day out!) I noted slight knock in steering when on hard right lock at manoeuvering speeds.

Non dismantling inspection revels that the left front steering arm has a knock/ slight play in it, when grasped firmly and wiggled with car on ground.

It does not seem to be coming from the knuckle joint at wheel end, more from where the arm goes into the gaiter on the end of steering rack. The right arm has no play.

How hard is the rack to work on and any guesses as to the culprit part? As a sad PS should i can the next day out until attended to?

Unfortunately Caterham don't sell them and have exclusive rights, but Titan do a repair kit for the Elise rack that might fit.

They are just ordinary Igus bushings, so you could source them "anywhere" was I told.

I ended up making bronze bushings for mine when I refurbished it.
