    The steering shaft lower spline to steering rack in my 2016 Holden Colorado RG7 Trailblazer is loose
    Answered by David Morley · 5 May 2024

    You really can’t afford to take any chances with a car’s steering system. The thought of this crucial system failing even at low speeds doesn’t bear thinking about, so if there’s any play or looseness in the system, it needs to be diagnosed and fixed properly with new parts if necessary.

    Meantime, Loctite and other thread-locking products are designed to stop fasteners coming loose. These products are not designed to take up slack in worn parts and shouldn’t be used that way. Even if the thread-locker stops the fastening nut coming loose, it won’t do anything about the slack in the joint you’ve already noted.

    Best vehicle for towing a horse float?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 4 February 2016

    You need to know the all-up weight of the trailer with the three horses all your gear aboard. The horses alone weight 1500 kg, and the float is going to be 1500 to 2000 kg, so you need a vehicle capable of towing 3500 kg. There are a number on the market rated to tow that load, vehicles like the Holden Colorado, Mazda BT-50, Ford Ranger, Land Rover Discovery etc. You also need to be mindful of the Gross Combination Mass of the vehicle when you're going to tow at or near its maximum rating to ensure you don't exceed it.
