    Steering Stabilizer bolt needed for FOX

    I have a custom mount on the drag link using the OME bolt and used the other OME bolt that is mounted to the plate that bolts to the front crossmember. I just bolted my Fox stabilizer straight on. The only drawback is that the bolts are a tiny bit too short. I did research and measured the...

    Need to borrow radius arm bushing tool

    I used a pipe coupler that I sanded down a little and it fit perfectly as well. I don't remember the specifics but I found it on a search here for homemade bushing removal tool.

    Challenging Power Steering Gear Box Issue, sounds simple but...

    Very interesting, I have noticed a slight variation in the past as well (I am very OCD ;)) but nothing like that one occurrence. I hadn't considered the rear bushings but coincidentally, or not, mine are all old as well with all new fronts.

    Challenging Power Steering Gear Box Issue, sounds simple but...

    I figured it would be asking a lot but can't hurt. I have a hard time trusting people to work on my rig so I would much rather use someone I know is good.

    Challenging Power Steering Gear Box Issue, sounds simple but...

    I just remembered something that I had forgotten as I retread your last post Spike. I hit a partially submerged rock at speed with my pass front tire and it actually resulted in my steering wheel about 30 degrees spun to the right when the truck was driving straight on the highway. I expected...

    Perfect, that is exactly the type of input I was looking for because I haven't done a bunch of these and don't know my s*** either. Where you were before is where I am now. Tools is EXACTLY who I would want to rebuild my box but I didn't know I could send it to him. I will have to PM him...

    Challenging Power Steering Gear Box Issue, sounds simple but...

    Thanks Spike, I had a feeling that there was more going on than what the external adjusting screw was affecting. Might use this as an excuse to swap a 105 sector shaft and tap the box for a ram assist while its apart. Problem is it is my daily driver for a little while longer and I want to have...

    Need to borrow radius arm bushing tool

    I gave up and bought one from you a week or two ago. Didn't know you were selling them when I first asked, found Wits End with Google.

    Need to borrow radius arm bushing tool

    Appreciate it brother, literally can't drive that far right now, at least safely. 3 out of the 4 bushings are totally separated. She is a handful. I will let you know if I need to take you up on it.

    REAL TIME HELP: Power Steering Pump Rebuild Catastrophe

    Thanks Tools, I double checked to make sure they were all rounded edge out and facing the same direction based on the wear pattern. Thankfully two vanes stayed in place so I was able to reference them. Lesson boys and girls; never rush to please the princess on a job you have not done before...

    REAL TIME HELP: Power Steering Pump Rebuild Catastrophe

    Both pictures are of the same side, the seal side. This is post clean up with a machinist file. I have the shaft fitting smoothly at this point so I think I will proceed with the rebuild. Especially after seeing the price of a rebuilt power steering pump posted above! Also I cleaned the hell...
