Stripping bolts since ‘10
I still had slop in my steering after I rebuilt it in my duster (tie rods/ball joints/bushings/etc). Turns out it was the worn out steering box. I put a rebuild firm feel "stage 3" in , no slop now.
Special thanks to all you guys. Being new to this Forum, you never know what the overall Vibe of the threads will be. Most of everything you all of mentioned is basically correct. Funny, right after the first guy says Rebuild entire front end, I jump online , priced a kit at $400. (Didn't order it) Jumped on youtube to find a video of someone else doing it. Everything looks straight forward enough. I hesitate when I see the removal of the sway bars. Special tools, don't ding it etc...
But first I am going to check the components as you mentioned, in order and see what I find out.
I am trying to get this into Daily Driver shape by the end of the summer. Right now it is not safe on the freeway, I have to swing back n forth to keep it in the lane.
Also I don't know how fast I am going, nor how much gas I have. But those are a different thread:cheers:
I will report back after I do some more investigating on the steering wheel play,.
yep thats real dumb.you dont know what tie rods are?yep thats pretty dumb.you need to become more aquainted with your mopar.maybe learn a little about your car.im not trying to burn you down,but come on dude.im going to just say,take it to a shop,if you really dont know what tie rods are,how do you know they are worn?someone tell you?
There is like a little square box, that used to have a rubber boot, which is gone. The shaft turns about 1 inch before it starts to turn the wheels. You mention about inserting some more washers. .
