STEERING GEAR (work done in October 2012)

The steering and front suspension have always been problematic. I have most of the invoices for work done on it in the last 30 years and many are for tires, alignment, and repair of suspension and steering components.

The steering has been an issue on this car for a long time. Upon inspection , I saw that the flexible joint at the steering gear was torn so I began by replacing it. I had to disconnect the steering column to do it. While doing this I discovered that the steering gear had a lot of slop in it and the grease was all gone, too.
