If not any better 3/ Disconnect outer ball joints and check movement on either side of vehicle If still no good....... Then remove all wheel stations and replace with new one's, Have Dinner

    This is where it cracked The whole assembly tries to move when I try to turn the steering ( Engine not running)

    Thanks to some advice from Richard I now have gears. However, having sorted one thing, I moved on.... I reassembled the steering and tried to turn it WITHOUT the Engine running, but with all 4 front wheels raised off the ground. Really hard to move and then the housing creaked and broke where I had got it welded. Now, do I have a problem in the steering gear or the internal steering assembley?

    Busy weekend, again I was told the reg on her was an RAF number... someone has been telling me porkies.... Not for the first time... Its out, thanks in part, to advice given by forum members and a 434 hiab QUESTION; How many spanners can you hide under a Saracen Engine? in this case ......... 4 ( all 1/2 inch and 7/16 ) and a screwdriver and 2 gallons of Oil
  22. protacman
