How much movement in tie rod

[david106]

I have a signum 3.2 v6 and changed the arb's today £5.35 from vauxhall bargain.
While i was having a look about i wondered how much movement should there be in the tie rod as i can twist the osf one from side to side but no up or down movement

[david106]

would be great if someone could respond I've done the front arb's and drop links but i think i can still hear a knocking when i go over bumps etc

You can rotate it clockwise/anticlockwise but you shouldnt be able to push it directly back/forth or up/down

Really need someone to grasp wheel an 3&9 o'clock position an wobble it to feel for movement as being able to move it side to side their usually still ok.

Have a look a strut tops. An wish bone bushes if still knocking.
