c3 steering

[Deleted]

Quick look at a 04 citroen c3 1.4 tonight in the dark the steering seems jammed ,its not the lock as it moves a bit with eng on , seems like jammed rack , any info or clues cheers .

Can't offer any advice on that Mac but the very thought that a rack could fail like that is very scary indeed.

Has it got electric steering assistance? And is it charging?

I had a Corsa yesterday with failed alternator, Still had enough battery power to start engine but steering was almost solid.
Fitted new alternator, started and steered fine.

Will it turn if you take the weight off the front end?

sent from my HTC using proboards android app

i had one of these a while back that when the front spring snaps it shoots the wider section of the snapped off spring down the leg, the one i done shreaded the front tyre, just thinking the spring may have snapped and jammed up the steering

citreon did do a recall on them to have modified spring cups to stop this happening

Thanks for replies , Had a better look , suspension intact , jacked up same, released tr/ends you can turn it further but there is a lot of creaking from the rack and motor ,

Somethings broken up inside it then

Any secondhand ones on the web?

I take it new ones are exchange only?

Be interesting to open it up and see what's happened to it
