Im gunna attempt the steering mod. Any tips?

 

Needle-nosed small vise grips for the springs on the tilt. They are a bear, and the hardest part of the whole thing. Also, tie your steering wheel to the turn signal lever, to keep it from spinning, and loosing orientation with the clock spring. When you put it back in, remember that you will need to align the swivel joint at the floorboard.

 

Tack welding slip joint in the steering column, to get rid of excess play.

 

How should i tie it. And im trying to get the spring out now, they aint moving lol

 

Bungie, big zip tie, most anything! You just don't want it to spin freely while it's out.

 

Any tips on the springs. I cant seem to get any bit on them with anything

 

Don't remember exactly, other than a lot of force to get the visegrip on, and muscle to get them loose. Obviously, make sure they are in the most relaxed position by moving the tilt.

 

Hey any idea what this part is. It fell out when i was walking with the collum and i cant figure out where it goes

 

Damn i should of done that. It was so tiny in the collum but i was moving my wheel a whole 1-1 1/2” before it would turn my tires

 

Everything works fine just idk where thats from

 

Idk, i welded this and now i have no play. Before even when i was parked it had the play

 

#3? Seriously have no clue. I'd look but my steering column is in a service department in Milpitas.

 

The slop is in this part. Which you cant see without pulling the whole collum

 

Yeah its in the hex part.
I was ashamed of my buger welds so I didn’t take a picture lol but where the skinny part meets the fat part you gey play in there. Which is very tiny but once its amplified by the wheel it feels like a 1 of play

 

Yeah i still don’t know. But if you come by rn i can get yours done in 30min i bet lol

 

hahaha you need to figure out where that little piece needs to be. there for a reason.

 

Yeah im still looking. It’s weird. Has a numb that comes off it then there all also two small springs held in by a pin
