Thread: STEERING TROUBLES

Na we where going to replace them anyway as they are about the only thing we didn't do when building it . .Plus i would realy like all the springs to match . .
I will do the steering stop tomorrow if i can find another bolt the same & can get the broken one out. . . . . .

Let me know about the steering stop bolt I have a couple from a rangie that may fit

Glad to see your not selling

Na i been trying to get stuff sorted for Ebay & the Markets . But i seem to keep answering posts . . .

Don't do it man! It can be fixed. If you get another vehicle you will be starting from scratch again with a whole new set of problems.

I know that changing the springs took a whole day, I'm assuming that you had trouble getting a shackle or two undone? When I do mine I jack up the car from the crossmember behind the engine. I then support it via the side rails on stands. Just think, it will be easier next time.

Definitely dont sell. One of my biggest regrets is selling my first series 3. It was a great car and i sold it under similar circumstances to you as a short term fix. Regret it massively now.

NA some dickhead didn't jack up the car high enough before putting it on stands . So was hard going getting them back in . . . .

I can get the new springs tomorrow morning but what am i going to do if its still the same..& if it is the same i may as well sell it cause it will be sitting there for some time before i get it sorted.I'm stuffed if i can work it out we have been driving the damn thing around for a year & now this . . .
Actualy i would probably end up swaping it atleast i should get a car with rego & going onroad without this headache . . .
Just debaiting wether to take out the cb,uhf,stereo,duel batteries,little fridge,hilift before or just let it go with it as i doubt i will get another one ...

My Stage 1 is standard from the steering perspective and its the same hope this helps

Banjo if you just fix the steering stop then it would solve all the problems yes??

So why not just do that for now as it will stop the clamp hitting the spring.

If you don't fix that it will all most certain that it will touch the new spring
