D series Steering

[BMW1 42]

On my D200, when I turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, it has a tight turn radius, but when I turn it all the way to the right, the turn radius is significantly wider.

 

The tie rods appear to be adjusted evenly.

 

Anyone have a similar problem and what was done to fix it?  The steering does have quite a bit of play, at least 1/4 to 1/2 turn of the wheel.

Sounds like your steering gears are worn, and may have skipped a tooth or two.  Check the recent thread ref.  "520H Turning Radius".
