Icon6 axle play can't figure it out

Ok I have an 88 si, sohc swap zc. For some reason I have about a couple of centimeters of axel play. New tie rods inner and outer, front skunk2 camber kit, new function form suspension, replaced front endlinks to energy bushings, but I still get this clunking up front had an alignment done. But I'm thinking my camber is too positive, That's why I'm ending up with axel play. I'm not 100% sure but any one else got a solution help!!!

Default Re: axle play can't figure it out

What do you mean by "axle play"?

I am thinking you actually mean steering play.
When you turn the steering wheel and the wheels don't instantly turn.
Instead, you have play in the steering wheel where you can rotate it a few degrees and have no effect on turning.
There may be some clunking when you do a turn.
With the front end on jack stands, you can grab the left and right side of a wheel and get a clunking or play when you try to turn it back and forth with your hands.
If that is what you are experiencing,
- Replace the steering rack end bushing.
- Adjust your steering rack guide screw.

Might also check your wheel bearings.
With the front end on jack stands, grab the top and bottom of the wheel and wiggle it.
It should have zero play.
