My Land cruiser is here now about 1 month. I’ve dug into it to insure some secure Knowledge of it and found a few things. I could use some help.
the steering on it seems secure and it drives well but things can’t be all that good with the fit of some parts.
1.) is there a bushing or bearing in the end of the steering column before you get to the rag joint where the housing is attached to the firewall?
2.) does the rag joint have flexibility? If I grab the lower steering shaft, I can easily slop it around about 1/4”
in the left side photo, there is that much play in this connection
in the right side photo, the shaft has about 1/8 wiggle room and it just does not make sense to me
thank you in advance
