I have a 73 2.0 and having to replace both the upper and lower steering bearings. I noticed the both of the steering U-joints and have lots of rust. Would like to know if you can take apart the u-joint and blast the metal to remove the rust, then put it back together. Is it possible or better just to buy recondition parts. Thanks

Thanks If it were me...for anything more than surface rust, I'd by reconditioned, solid parts. The steering system endures lots of forces and no sense tempting fate. |
