Play on steering

[littlened]

There seems to be alot of play on the steering of my zx-5, is this normal?

When I say play, I mean, I can wobble each wheel a fair bit, I'd say at least 5mm

I had the same problem.
I made some my own ackermann screws for the steering rack so i could
allmost remove the play from the steering. Im a bit neat freak so I think its normal.

check the ballcups that is usualy the problem.

The normal problem is the bushes in the rack. Replace these with 6x3x2.5f bearings (have a look on www.RCBearings.co.uk (http://www.RCBearings.co.uk)) and the issue goes away.

All my cars have bearings in the rack and all totally slop free :)

Kyosho equivalent part number is BFG007F, sure MicroTech would be able to get them for you.
