I need to remove the power steering gear and I assume I should rebuild the coupler while I"m at it. My plan was to pull the column aft just enough to separate everything. I loosened up the steering column by removing the four bolts on the clamp plate under the dash and loosening the three...

While replacing my ignition lock cylinder I noticed the steering column will pull out about a half inch if I pull aft on the wheel. The shaft comes aft with the wheel but the coupler stays in place. Here's the shaft fully pushed into the coupler: And here is the shaft pulled out by pulling...

I replaced my power steering pump today because it was whining and leaking. I haven't identified the source of the leak yet, but it did seem to leak out by the shaft when I set it pulley-side down on the bench. The "new" pump came from a donor car and looked a little rusty inside, so I don't...

I checked my ride height today according to the factory shop manual, and there's only 1" difference between the two measuring points, where there should be 1 7/8" (both sides are equal). The solution would be to crank up the torsion bars, but then I feel like the rear would look too low. What...
