Hi all,
Over the last few months i have noticed that my 85GT will follow worn tracks on badly maintained roads. To the point where it will almost drive itself !.
Anyway i have traced it down to the steering rack. There is approx 6mm play in the rack at the straight ahead position.
There is a pinion bearing adjustment on the rack and it has a large castle type locknut on the top of the adjustment bolt.
The Pontiac manual tells me to undo the locknut and tightent the bearing adjuster fully until it bottoms out, than back off 60 degrees.
Problem is i cannot loosen this silly castle type locknut !!!.
Anyone got any ideas ???
Thanks in advance.
