You are right UKDEN. The instructions listed above are for a Defender etc. The FL2 has no drag link. John

I've also read that adjustments can be made to the drag link for minor steering wheel adjustments.

I am not sure that the FL2 has a drag link!

Is it not rack & pinion with the trackrods fitted directly to the rack with ball joints?

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Oh really? Can somebody clarify this as I was really hoping this was the answer to my problem. Failing the drag link then I guess it's back to adjusting the track rods.

This really is a very simple job involving two spanners, two hands and a bit of common sense. I have carried this procedure out before (particularly on SWMBO's Yaris).

Conveniently, nuts have six sides, so it is easy to make the same adjustment on each side of the car, i.e. one flat at a time. Should take about 5 mins. to do.

Presumably the car turns to the left when the steering wheel is straight ahead. Therefore the nearside trackrod has to be lengthened and the offside shortened (by exactly the same amount). Now: 2012 FL2 SD4 XS Orkney Grey
