not a bad video, I checked out that kit at Napa, it would have worked
great! BUT, the splines we're worn, so I bought a new rag joint complete
at true connections for only $28. since the steering box had to come off
to remove the rag joint, I sent that out for repair also...
thanx man...i am just doing the same thing,on a 1961 chevy truck!!! this
helps a lot!!!!
Worn out steering rag joint - Chevy C1500 Truck
Here is what a worn out steering rag joint looks like and options for repair. On my truck replacing this and performing 2 adjustments to the steering box solved my ...
Have you had any issues using the mod? I have talked to an ASE certified
mechanic on this topic. Two schools of thought...... He said that this mod
introduces THREE U-Joints into the shaft. Said two U-joints were fine, but
a third could potential cause binding and that could lock up the entire
steering shaft and cause a catastrophic accident ....advised looking for a
repair kit or replacing with the same part which is probably not a
permanent solution :(
I don't know about c/k's but on s10's this swap can't be done on 95+ models. I have a 94 s10 that has a bolt joining the two half's of the steering shaft but my 00 s10 doesn't, this mod will work on my 94 but not my 00. If your truck has the same center bolt as my 94 then it shouldn't be a problem. I plan to get a u joint off ebay for $32 that has 3/4" 30 spline and 3/4 DD to go into place of the old rag joint on my 00 s10.
Pontiac Grand Prix GXP Steering Rack Install
A quick video of an install of a steering rack, I hope I did it right?
Did you have to remove the transmission to do it? Also what reason did you
have to change the steering rack?
Dodge charger issue... what is it?
I get a hard vibration when I hit 45-50 mph then it lightens up after 50. I've balanced wheels, straighten out rims, changed out one bad caliper and brakes.
My car vibrated when i hit 40. I noticed the flex disk on the driveshaft
were torn. I replaced them and they were damaged again. This time i tested
the driveshaft which was the problem. I had to replace the driveshaft since
those driveshaft can't be balanced.
i am having the same problem i have replaced the coupling in the rear a
little less than a year ago an now i am having the same problem again do
they make an aftermarket coupling something with a better material
the driveshaft was off balance so i needed to replace the driveshaft. the
driveshaft on these chargers can't be balance once its off balance it has
to be replaced.
