Hi all.

A while back Jake DeVilliers test drove my VanaJetta. He kindly
commented that something felt hinky. (loose paraphrase) This sat in
the back of my mind. FF to rebuilding most of the front end. Things
improved (especially with radius arm fix), but there was still a
twitchy feel to steering at highway speeds. Noticed play at 2 rubber
bushings between lower column and flange. Could hear subtle "clunk"
moving wheel L/R a little.

Replaced bushings, "twitchy feel" gone.

I assume this has been covered before, but felt it worth mentioning.
Besides I took pics! Easy to check, not a hard job to do.

Cheers,

Neil.
