Posted July 20, 200222 yr comment_10976 OK, I am looking to find out if the prev. owner may have put the short steering links in. On A stock 240 how many turns is it from lock-lock ?

July 21, 200222 yr comment_11002 Since I'm not at home and don't have a FSM in front of me, I'm guessing here at about 3 to 3 1/2 turns lock to lock. I've got the short arms on mine at home, I can take a measurement if needed so you can compare the stock to the short ones. only problem is I won't be home till Tuesday morning. :tapemouth Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2338-steering-links/#findComment-11002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 21, 200222 yr Author comment_11006 Cool, no big rush. I think they are the short. Just wanted to know what was on the car. I have about 2 1/2 turns lock-lock now.

July 23, 200222 yr comment_11186 Well, now that I can look in the FSM, I was off a little on the turns lock to lock. The FSM says 2 3/4. I measured the stock and short arms I have. Stock overall length is 7 1/2 inches approx. Short ones are 7 inches approx. From the body of the strut where they meet the steering arm to the rear of the arm where the tie rod mounts is: Stock- 2 1/2 inches Short- 2 inches Not much difference, unless you measure them you won't be able to see it. I think with the short arms the turns lock to lock was 2 on the IT car I had, right now I don't have one together to find out for sure.

July 23, 200222 yr Author comment_11189 Thanks for looking that up. Now I know mine are stock. O-well. I thought I may have been lucky on that. Now I get to add to that not so short list of parts. But in the end its gona be worth it. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/2338-steering-links/#findComment-11189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
