Hi

I am using a quick rack (2.2) from minispares. its been on the car for about 4500 km.

When I jack up only one side at the front and try to move the front wheel that is in the air, I can move it quite a bit before the other wheel(that is on the ground) corners together with the one im moving. What could this be? I cant understand that a new rack should have gone bad already? could it be some adjustments or something? I have never opened one up before...

Rack is fastened correctly and does not move, rod ends are new and in good condition. Dont think it will help sending it back, as it is quite a few years since I bought it, it has been stored for a while before I started using it. Oh well, maybe I should pick up another one when I come over in Sept.
