Parts guy Shawn down where Cdan used to work, did a great job getting me hooked up with parts. One thing I always liked about Dan (and was willing to spend shipping on) was that I always got the right parts and I didn't have to know everything, unlike at my local dealer.
The techie part: I had some play in my steering shaft and i thought it was the u joints near the fire wall (@beno hooked me up with the right part a year or two ago). Anyway, once I got everything apart I couldn't find play in the joint - it's just really loose and sloppy but no visible movement. The play seemed to be coming from the bearing area that sits right at the firewall behind he retaining clip. It rocks back and forth ever so slightly.
Any one else have experience with this, is it expected? The parts in the picture are replacement parts that I'm putting in just because I want new stuff in the cruiser while I can still get parts and hopefully putting new ujoints and bearing/cap will tighten it up a lil bit.
