Steering Brakcet

Not worth the risk of it breaking again. Replace it is my recommendation.

[mcandmar]

For the sake of a few quid buy a new one, not worth the risk.

[quattrostyle]

indeed, better change it. And if you go for a secondhand one maybe it's worth the effort to reinforce it.

Any welding on the steering componants is a MOT failure anyway..

[Wiell]

how did you do that?

[spink]

how did you do that?

its not uncommon,i have seen other threads on this forum with the same issue

[vonbeck]

how did you do that?

Don't know just heard a sharp crack does anybody have the correct name or part number for it? And is it still available at the stealers or gfs etc

[Jonnybravo]

I have one in the garage, £10 delivered. Will post it tomorrow for you.

[terrybullwon]

Well a weld should be more than fine.

And as for a MOT fail.... Well go look at any real race car you don't get the **** steering arms a S2 has that's for sure

[Jonnybravo]

Welded and after 17 years not a crack in them anywhere.

I have known cars to fail a mot for welded steering arms though so its a fair point, just depends if your mot tester knows what he is looking at or not.

That happened my typ85gt in dublin in a past life. Happened at very low speed thank goodness. Total nightmare. Count your blessings.

[vonbeck]

i take it its just a case of undoing the four bolts and fitting new one? is there any thing to re-set after?
