Corolla Finally Goes Wrong

Well after 5 years of not even having to change a bulb or fuse my Corolla has finally gone a bit wrong. The steering has gone very heave and inconsistent. I took it to my local garage in Whitchirch, Cardiff and fair play, they didn't rip me off. They told me that I joint at the bottom of the steering columns has seized up. They lubricated it and it's eased it up a bit. However, it may need a replacement rack which will cost hundreds. Not good!

Long time no hear mate.

Sorry to hear about the steering problem. Give Kevin a ring on 01905 778968 (that's the guy who did my engine transplant - he's in Droitwich). He may have a second hand one in stock - got to be worth a try and tell him John gave you his number - you never know I might get some discount the next time I go to see him :lol:

HI Phil

I dont think that it sounds like the sterring rack has gone but a sterring yoke at the bottom of the sterring shaft if you get me a chassis number i could get a part number for you....

Cheers for the replies guys.

Hello again John, I've not been active on this board much as the gf uses the car more than me now.

Apparently the car isn't unsafe or anything so I'm going to have it looked by a toyota specialist when I'm back West next month. Depending on what he says I may be in touch with either Kevin or WMC.

Cheers, Phil.
