    1967 FJ40 steering box (non power): Have it sent out to rebuild, do it myself, get a remamned one?

    Thanks for the reply: I agree, very simple box. I am thinking the same thing: If I remove some of the current spacers it might do the trick. Thats what the FSM states anyways; Add spaccers to loosen, remove to tighten. If I remove the front right fender it will be breeze to remove the...

    1967 FJ40 steering box (non power): Have it sent out to rebuild, do it myself, get a remamned one?

    Not sure how we say its good with with 2-3" of play left after the rebuild. FSM states 1.5" - 2" If you still have play over that, you might have an issue elsewhere I am not sure any steering play of 2-3"+ inches is within spec in most vehicles: So I have to ask, how much play did you...

    1967 FJ40 steering box (non power): Have it sent out to rebuild, do it myself, get a remamned one?

    The rebuild does look easy: I'm mech inclined, and there are plenty of vids on the early boxes. But the key here are parts: As Mark stated, the sector balls are hard to find, and are typically the items that most people dont change out, most likley due to rarity of these balls online. If...

    Just tried calling MOR: Line rang, but no VM option.... I understand he doesnt want to use his IH8MUD profile for biz questions, call instead If MOR gets this, sure do need that steering box: As it is, my LC is really unsafe to drive with all the play Since there is no website email, and I...

    1967 FJ40 steering box (non power): Have it sent out to rebuild, do it myself, get a remamned one?

    Helo: I have rebuilt the entire front suspension/steering components on my 1967 FJ40, except for the steering box. I have allot of play in the steering, and IAW the FSM, to adjust steering wheel play, shims must be added or taken out. Its not just a simple loosen a lock nut, turn the screw...
