    Steering rack question

    thanks for the tips on the bumpsteer kit.

    Steering rack question

    i've heard you can put 99 GT inner tie rod ends on a 91 rack. The 99's are longer so it should solve my problem. question is, how do i get the spiral pin off the inner tie rod so i can change it out? some post said to put a screw in it and try and pry it off. any other suggestions...

    Dash lights out....not the dimmer switch

    thanks for the info. how do i test the new switch? i've got a Calterm 66430 for reading volts, ohms, amps, etc... and how would i start trying to trace down where i'm losing power? i appreciate the patient, haven't had much experience with electrical systems.

    Dash lights out....not the dimmer switch

    checked, all looked good. will double check to be sure but i'm pretty sure that's not it. I checked the 5 amp fuse and the 15 amp fuse (i forget the numbers) but the ones the service manual says could be the problem......also checked the others. any other thoughts?

    I just installed a QA1 tubular k-member on my '91 LX and am less than thrilled with the results. The problem that i'm facing now is that the power steering rack no longer meets up with the steering shaft. It's about an inch short!! no, not a 1/4" or a 1/2" short, a full inch. Also, when the...

I want to put a tubular K-Member in because mine has quite a bit of rust on it and I'm wondering if I can use the stock A-arms/springs with a tubular k-member? (I was looking at the one from Granatelli MS).......or do i also have to buy the tubular...
