Wondering if you still have one of these sleeves available?
Hunner, could you please post up a list of those with reserved sleeves?
Wondering if you still have one of these sleeves available?
I feel better already. I thought I had been lied to by the techs I talked to and was very lucky!!Ok, I had a brain fart; not enough coffee. For some reason I was thinking of removing the steering wheel and column, and that is not necessary with a gear change. So, forget the information about the air bag system. Just locking the column in place affects nothing. It's Sunday...
:emb:
So is your seal at the end of the rack leaking? I have heard of one other person have that happen with the stock bushing. I have mentioned that I thought it would be possible with this mod that it "could" cause more wear on that seal since the whole end of the rack is not moving over a half an inch. I prefer to take my chances on that as opposed to breaking a rack on the trail, losing fluid and burning up the pump or worse drive off a cliff! It will be interesting to see how your techs respond to this mod. Keep us posted.Thank you for putting me down for one! My steering is leaking and the rubber bushing has basically torn itself apart so I'll have to see what else needs to be replaced along with the rack. At first I thought it was the lines from the pump but when I saw the bushing torn up and read all the posts of people having the same issue, I knew it was the rack. Thanks for the info on the steps you took, I've always wrenched on my vehicles but never had to change a rack before so the more info I have the better.
I've got to take a closer look at it, it could be the seal or maybe one of the lines. Theres so much steering fluid covering everything it was hard to tell where it was coming from. I didnt have a second person with me when I looked at it to turn the wheels while I was underneath it to see if the steering rack is actually separating or not. I plan to take another look at it on tuesday and I'll have some help then. Thanks again for putting this together for all of us, its cool when people find fixes like this!Are you getting a whole new rack? Is that because the seal on the pass side is leaking?
Yep, I'm having issues as well with the rack. I'm still able to steer so I dont think the line is broken...yet. My steering wheel doesnt always center in the same spot so I think it is moving somewhat.Wait I'm getting confused, which is normal. Did you AND Trailbreaker have rack problems? If the rack is actully separated, when you steer the outer part would move with the inner rack making for some crazy steering. If it is broken and the short line is also broken and leaking you better make sure to keep fluid in the pump or it will burn it up, oh and you won't be able to steer!
Straighten me out here, are all these things exploding at near the same time. How many miles you have on the ticker?

but better than the alternative!! too many trails, not enough time.It is he'll getting old isn't it Hunner?
Too many explosions and too many guns, it was a trade off on wanting to hear people coming or protecting my ears. what? earmuffs when I was younger, only when it was cold!I hope you wore earmuff things when you were younger. Now that I have started fabrication I try to keep some sort of ear protection on when using any type of grinder...those suckers are loud.

I wear all that stuff NOW and have always worn glasses that have saved me but now I cover them with clear masks which of course fog up. For painting I have a fresh air fed mask. Apparently the brain damage is already done.:whaa:
I did get a strand of something toxic as the doctor said, I thought it might have been fiberglass or carbon fiber, in my eye, now I have dry eye and little dams in my tear ducts, it's alway sumpthin!!
You need to wear a mask too, inhaling that grinding dust is not good.
