Steering woes
Well, the shop got the new track bar today, they went to put it on, and low and
behold my Currie steering is also bent. Tie rod is bent out (away from the axle), drag link is bent, like you would expect, at the joint where the tie rod attaches. Now what? Who's is better than Currie? -jenn |

Hi Jennifer,
Real Jeeps have leaf springs that act as skid plates. If you take a rock in the center because that's the only way over, than that's the cost of doing business. Replace what you have: http://www.rockcrawler.com/techrepor...ring/index.asp Or convert to leaf springs: http://----------.com/TJleafSprings/tjLeafFront.jpg God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ "jbjeep" <jbjeep@saw.net> wrote in message news:38v6d3drkvr0205g4vesmrlg7gbgtpcjrt@4ax.com... > Well, the shop got the new track bar today, they went to put it on, and low and > behold my Currie steering is also bent.

Convert to manual steering? :) |
