Trying to find a diagram of all the linkages from the steering column going down. Basically trying to fix sloppy steering and want to see all the links that might need looking at/replacing etc.
Replaced worn outer tie rod ends,steering box is next but need to see the other connections that could be worn
I have a book with a bunch of blown apart diagrams but cant find it right now. Anyone have a decent size diagram ?
thanks

Starting from the column:
Rag Joint
Steering Box
Inner / Outer tie rod ends
Idler Arm.

That takes you right up to the spindles.

Always start at the steering gearbox, and adjust according to the factory service manual.

Thanks,yeah i have that in the Haynes manual,will be attempting that in the next few days with another person,probably make it easier with 2. But I was just wanting to find out other options and get diagrams where possible to help me.

Already changed outer tie rods ends,inners seem ok,and i saw another thread in another forum where they mentioned checking the idler arm and the rag joint also when there is too much play in the steering wheel

I'm skeptical about the accuracy of the Haynes manual. Still, do the gearbox adjustment now, before any more money is spent on parts you may not need.
