hi all got a rear end wobble i take it its the hicas but the problem is how do i check the arms? have got a parts diagram from nissan and there is 3 main bits joining to hicas main body. first track rod ends then arm that attaches to the threaded bar which is attached to hicas main body?

also will this be a job i could do myself? and where is the best place to get the bits?

any help appreciated :bow:

have u used the diagnostic check, start engine and turn wheel left to right 5 times then hit the break five times in under 10seconds, then as u turn the wheel they should turn, my stering wheel was off by 90%

jack the rear of the car up, shake the wheels side to side.

 

if there is any play then you need to see if its in the HICAS link arms (ball joints at the rack) or at the outer bushes where the arms bolt onto (pressed in the hubs)

 

HTH

my rear end wobble was caused by a burst subframe bush.

hi there,

 

had exactly the same problem you had, but i managed to find a really good low millage second hand complete hicas rack with all the arms, fixed the problem straight away, mike feeny at mj parts in the traders section sell the arms for about £55 each if i remember, then you have to fit them and set the end stops that are underneath the rubber boots on the rack, you will find that its the ball joint at the end of the rack that wears and causes the wheels to go there own way lol!! but can also be other suspention parts as mentiond by the other posts.

 

hope this helps
