Thread: Bad Steering Pump, Rack or Both?

you guys, my car sat on jack stands for a month waiting for a tranny.

getting them lines off from under the car takes like 10 minutes tops.

i really dont recall at all. but the two lines will only fit up there in one orientation.

if your under the car looking up at the rack you need to put the higher up hose on first, then the lower one, no way to mix then up and it seem to fit right.

measure how far the end of the inner rod is from a fixed point on the old rack, then move the new one to the same measurement.

and that nub on the rack has to be facing the right way so the bolt will fit in there.

what about em? the lock nut? if you left the old ones on, measure the nit to the end, swap that number over

and you need to bleed the air out the rack. wheels off the ground turn lock to lock 15 times, top off the res as needed.

that puts me right back here then

drop the frame and turn it with a adjustable wrench.

or, you could turn the steering wheel till its right, then drop the frame split the shaft off and turn the wheel back. make sure you know how far you went so you can turn it back or the clock spring can break on ya.
