GM / General Motors: Hard Steering Problem

WHY in God's Holy and gracious name would you attempt to fix a 1980
CHEVETTE????? If you want/like a small car you can get a 90 something
Cavilier or Grand Am for peanuts

Other than that...I would bet a rebuilt rack from Advance Auto ($131.79 with
$10 core charge) or Autozone would be a much better bet than messing around
with adjustments. That is if you are 100% sure it is bad or plan on keeping
the little bugger for a while longer

DUH!!!

Maybe it's because it sit's under a "1952 MG-TD Classic Roadster Replicar
Chassis"! What I'll do is just shitcan this ride because it's just too nice
a ride and too much fun to drive and troll the lots tomorrow for some real
piece of shit sled that burns oil like a bitch with no brakes and offer the
salesman a fuckin bag of peanuts!

Or, I could spend $130 on a rebuilt rack and pinion and then screw the nut
out of the old fucker just to see if I can screw it back on!

Let me step down a few levels of consciousness for a minute and explain
something... my question was "if I just screwed that adjustment cap/plug out
too far would it be almost impossible to screw it back in because of the
spring inside", not why, not to purchase another vehicle or to spend money
needlessly on a rack and pinion. Thanks for answering the question.

So much for alt.autos.gm.

DUDE....settle a notch.....you never mentioned anything about the replicar

Had you been a wee more descriptive as to WHY you were trying to fix a
Shitvette..I would have come off a bit different.
So now that we are to this point of understanding, I would go with your
second choice,. and have the new rack on standby while you went crazy with
the spring.

Good luck

Really.

 


Those things will go on forever just like HarryFace's Bonerville.

Spend $130 for the sole purpose of experimentation? Brilliant...absolutely
Brilliant. I think I would sooner drop $130 in ENRON Common before wasting
$130, it's evident the question posited was and is beyond your scope of
understanding.
