Spit 1500 steering rebuild


Recommended Posts

Hi.

I had play in the column, the rack etc..  

The column was never rebuild in 42 years (exept top bush renewed 7 years ago.

The whole car had done over 300.000km/185.000miles.

 

2 Weeks ago i've put in a new rack.

Last weekend column out job !

Also fit a new steering UJ as the previous felt notchy/not so smooth anymore after 5,5 years.

She now drives totally different !

Also found the front end a bit to low.

So made up some spacers as I had 5mm nylon sheet in the shed.

Previous :

Front height: 56,5cm (From the ground to wheelarch)

Rear : 59,5cm

After the spacers fitted the front was at 58,5cm & rear stayed the same.

Do like the look better now !
