Free Steering Rack and Seat Slides
« on: September 21, 2020, 08:50:26 pm »
The slow cleaning of my garage is continuing, and I have found the following, free to a good home. No shipping -- you must come and get it, or I can take it to RFTH or the next meeting.

84-87 steering rack, complete with damper, tie rod ends, and steering shaft. Everything feels tight -- no play.


Driver side seat slides in good condition.

The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

I can't tell from the pic.  Is there one rubber bushing on that rack?

I'm curious.  Is there a grease fitting on that steering shaft?  If so, that's probably something that's been overlooked and underserviced for 35 years.

2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Not sure what you mean -- there's a tie rod end ball joint on each end

The mounting bushing just a bit to the center from the bellows.

Both mounting straps with the associated rubber parts (bushings?) are there.
