Subject:Shot manual steering rack on my '81?
From:Jon Joyce
Date:Sun, 7 Jul 2002 21:50:45 -0500

Over the past week or so, the (manual) steering on my '81 has gone from
dead-on tight to about three inches of play. Definitley makes for an
interesting experience on a breezy day! I had my wife turn the wheel back
and forth while I crawled underneath and inspected the front end; there was
no movement of the tie rods etc in that three-inch area, so I'm guessing the
problem lies within the rack & pinion? I would have expected it to go more
gradually... Anyway, is there anybody who rebuilds these things, or am I
stuck buying a new one? Anybody got a good used one they'll sell me? Any
help/advice would be much appreciated.

JJ
