Found out 1 problem for bumpsteering, I am pissed, $250 dollar endlinks broke after 2nd street run.

I contacted powergrid, waiting to hear back from them.

that bumpsteer is nasty. I would start with offset rack bushings to try and bring that rack up higher to level it out. If that doesn't work to go with your bolt through style.

Just got off the phone with powergrid and AJE,

The powergrid wants $175 for replacement parts

The AJE wants $550 for drop spindles to correct the suspension and/or i have to go back to stock height springs in the front.

It's getting pretty expensive here....

I am going with regular end-links for now and getting a bolt through bumpsteer kit to see if these will help.

Power steering Lines and Teflon o-rings problem

Okay, So i changed the rack, BUT it did not fixed the leak, as soon as i put the new rack on and poured the fluid,

The leak started from the return lines, i think it's the short cooler return line like where the hard fittings are, I put the Teflon o-rings and tighten them good(may be i over tighten them?) I even Teflon taped the threads

It's spraying out, How the hell do i make this thing stop leaking, It's worst then before...

HELP!

Do you guys know where i can get these Teflon o-rings? for the both pressure and cooler line? Thanks

 

[hollywoodstang]

Did I tighten them too tight you think? Here are the picture of the Teflon O-rings and the line that leaks from, I can feel the fitting is little too lose,

Get the universal orings from autozone get the ones that are made to resist gas I used them a couple of times to seal power steering leaks on several vehicles
