    Steering box - forgot a ball bearing!

    So after rebuilding an 80 series steering box and reinstalled it I found a lone ball bearing! So it must only have 43 balls in there. Is this a problem and should I pull it apart and put the last ball bearing in? Eg will it cause “slop”? Pain the ass! Cheers

    80 Series Steering Box

    If you're finding you have to screw the adjusting screw in quite a lot to try and remove "play" then it's possible your gears on the sector shaft and/or the power piston are worn. I've been doing quite a lot of research on recirculating-ball Steering gearboxes and if the gears (teeth) are worn...

    Steering box gears

    I’m after the one with PPS (4412060190) but I could just swap the bits over from that one assuming they’re the same input shaft, power piston etc etc l… Thanks for showing me that. It’s pricey but cheaper than a whole box.

    Steering box gears

    That is what I was worried about. Thank you for that. Unfortunately Toyota discontinued the power piston/valve assembly so buying that part new isn't an option anymore.

    Steering box gears

    Because it was wearing in a certain part of the teeth, between that wear and the original/untouched surface there is a lip or bur. Run your fingernail over the teeth and you'll see what I mean. All 3 spare boxes I had have this. When you add a new sector shaft to a worn power piston the metal...

    Steering box gears

    Then how to you get it meshing flush with wear and burs on the teeth that causes the binding?

    Steering box gears

    Has any had any luck filing or grinding the teeth on the sector shaft and/or power piston teeth to make gears mesh smoothly and take any play out? Especially removing any burs or ridges which can cause binding. I have a few spare boxes and they all have play where the teeth mesh, but bind if...

    Before I tear it down…

    Gday, yeah I replaced the spindle with a needle bearing type. Much tighter tolerances! I had already done this on the other side, so I've got both sides with the newer needle bearing spindles now. Much better.

    Before I tear it down…

    *update* Well I tore it down and replaced CV and spindle. No more sound. Nice and tight. Fixed. 👍🏻 I actually think it was because my old spindle was worn a bit and the CV axel was rattling around. when the axel was under drive tension (between diff gear and drive flange) it didn’t move...

    Absolutely no play 3/9 or 12/6. New genuine driveshaft unis recently too (sound was there before and after). There’s plenty of grease in there! I mean I guess it could be pinion slop but why only on a certain rotation? And it doesn’t sound like it’s coming from the diff… it’s in the end of...

    Yes both wheels were up. And yes I hear it sometimes (when the wheel is in that specific rotation)... hard to explain.

    Yes always serviced. Front end rebuild 6 months ago. When you mean a worn CV, wouldn't it click with wear in the balls/cage as opposed to this noise ?

    Before I tear it down…

    New driveflange went in the other day, didn't help. Could be the CV but really can't explain why it would be ?

    Before I tear it down…

    Gday brains trust! Wondering if I can get your professional listening opinion on the following… Front feft side is making a driveline clunking sound ONLY in a certain rotation of the wheel/axle. First video shows the noise on a certain part of the wheel rotation. Second video is when the...

    Front Axel chatter

    Already done all that thanks. The play is up and down. The lateral play is normal and the c clip is fine. The later model spindles have roller bearings and my other side already has this. So I’m thinking the old spindle has just got to the point it’s chattering due to 300+k of wear…

    Front Axel chatter

    Yep. If I hold the axle and bash the tyre, no noise. Or if the axle is torte (from diff to drive flange) there’s no noise. BUT if the axle has slack movement it rattles. And that’s what must happen when I’m turning and hit a bump on that side. It’s 100% the axle retelling around in the spindle...

    Front Axel chatter

    front right axel seems to rattle around. You can hear it when you go over a sharp bump I’ve tested it by holding the axel (birf) and giving the tyre a good hit. So what could it be? Worn spindle? Worn drive flange?

    Steering box sector shaft - tool for the stake nut ?

    How tight did you tighten the stake nut? (It can’t be too tight as it’s got to move, right)

    Steering box sector shaft - tool for the stake nut ?

    I found an old 14mm hex nut that was a bit longer. Drilled out out and it works well. As the adjusting screw needs to swivel around I wouldnt be inclined to tighten it down or you won't be able to turn the adjusting screw. So I'll fit it lightly and put some loctite on it. Hope this helps someone:
