Well, here is a link to my latest write-up where I show how to rebuild a steering rack and add a turbo tie rod kit.
My Webpage I know that there is an equal write-up on the Pelican board. Let me know what you all think. It's long and there are a lot of photos (god bless digital cameras) Wes V |

Nice write up.
If someone is doing this and is not replacing the needle bearing, I would make sure to measure the needles before assembly. I believe the diameters are not all the same! Half of them will be a bit smaller. Maybe only a thousandth or two. If I am correct, then the needles must be installed in an alternating state. This reduces the rotational resistance. Failure to do this will create a stiffer bearing that will fail prematurely. |
