wheee! Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share #1813 Posted January 16, 2018 Finally finished up the ignition unit. Looks nice and neat now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share #1814 Posted January 16, 2018 And got the steering rack apart. Now to clean the sucker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share #1815 Posted January 16, 2018 Surprisingly, the lower pinion bearing came out without a fight. It was not pressed completely to the bottom so I was able to lift it out with a bolt head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share #1816 Posted January 19, 2018 Rack is done! What do you think of my colour scheme? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb280z Posted January 19, 2018 Share #1817 Posted January 19, 2018 Looks really good. I like that color combo. Do you have the part numbers for the bushings you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share #1818 Posted January 19, 2018 I bought the prothane bushings from Techno Toy Tuning and they DO NOT fit. I have to order the energy suspension ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted January 19, 2018 Share #1819 Posted January 19, 2018 Yeah, I was gonna say... The paint scheme looks great, but those bushings still look like they are trouble. Here's to hoping the new bushings are a better fit. And don't forget to address that big gap on the end by the steering box. It won't get any better if you try to install it the way you have it. I'm not sure if all the mfgrs have the same sharp internal corner or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share #1820 Posted January 19, 2018 I totally agree. The bushings will be replaced with correct fitting ones. These pics were more to give an idea of the finished look and colour scheme. The feedback I got was to minimize the red in the rack, so I went this way with the colours. Even in the picture of the Energy Suspension bushings, you can see how the two part bushing is going to be a better fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb280z Posted January 19, 2018 Share #1821 Posted January 19, 2018 Are those new inner tie rods or just the old ones cleaned up? Look new to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share #1822 Posted January 19, 2018 Brand new from TTT. They are right right for future ease of replacement. Not that I should have to with the TTT outers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb280z Posted January 19, 2018 Share #1823 Posted January 19, 2018 Wow, you guys are making me want to refurbish my rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share #1824 Posted January 20, 2018 I was surprised how easy it was really. Even the bearing removal went easy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
