    Steering shaft issue (pic enclosed)

    In searching for the play in my steering, I found this part of the steering shaft to be the culprit. There is no bolt holding it together or any adjustment. It looks like it just slides together. Is there any way to fix the play here, or will I need a new shaft? The rag joint is fine so its...

    Squeak and play when turning wheel

    Ok guys, finally got a half hour this morning to look at the car. The squeaking was the tie rods. I put a needle through the boots and shot some grease in and the squeak is gone. However, the driver side inner tie rod is shot. Question is, how do you replace the damn thing? Would it be...

    Squeak and play when turning wheel

    Most likely is the balljoint making the squeaking, but could it be the strut mounts? Had someone bounce the car up and down and sounded like it was coming from the top of the wheel well

    Squeak and play when turning wheel

    Had about 15 mins of daylight when I got home tonight so I checked out the bushing at the firewall and it looks pretty bad. Going to try and get one at the Ford dealer tomorrow. As far as the squeaking, if it helps to narrow it down any, when I push down on the front end I can hear the...

    Squeak and play when turning wheel

    Thanks stangman, I tend to think you're on to something because when I grabbed the shaft just after it comes out of the firewall it moves all around a good 1/4" to 1/2". Im hoping the play in the wheel and the squeaking are related and I can fix both problems in one shot. Where is the...

    Squeak and play when turning wheel

    I needed something with a stick, autos are boring, lol. Anyway, I figured I would check out the tie-rod ends, ball joints, and rack bushings for the squeaking. Just havent had time yet. Are you talking about the clockspring for the airbag? Its definitely not that, the squeak is outside...

First, the steering squeaks when turning left to right, both when moving and stopped, but more pronounced when moving slowly or stopped. Second, there is a small amount of play in the steering wheel that is definately not...

    Clutch question

    Looking into buying a 94 Cobra and went to drive it yesterday. The clutch doesnt grab until the very top of the pedal travel, does that mean its on its way out? When it grabbed, it grabbed hard, it didnt slip, pop out of gear or anything. It does have a firewall adjuster, so it may just need...

    Symptons of a bad steering rack

    Being a GM guy, im not too familiar with the rack and pinion setup, where are the inner tie-rod bushings? It looks to me like there is the rack, and then outer tie rods? Ill go ahead and check the ball joints and tie rods first befor ei go ahead and replace the rack

    Who has MAC 1 5/8 longtubes?

    I wasnt worried about installing them until I recentll talked to a few people who have had them. I already have a mini starter, so that souldnt be a problem. However, Ive heard the stock steering shaft wont work, that it will rub. Is this true? I know i have to remove it to install them...

    Clunking when letting off clutch or accelerator

    I have noticed that my crossmember will move up and down when pryed. Is there anyway to secure it better? I used new bushings, sleeves, and bolts when putting it back together.

    Clunking when letting off clutch or accelerator

    Ok guys, i think ive narrowed down the noise a bit...doesnt happen until driving for a bit so i think that eliminates driveshaft problems (u-joints/loose bolts) i figured that it would happen all of the time if it were related to that. i also noticed today that my front left swaybar bushing...
