Manual steering box removed nut and noticed 1 thread also removed. What u guys think is there a way to repair it, just leave it and nothing should happen.
No fixing that one. Material is gone. You could get a thread chaser to clean things up.Manual steering box removed nut and noticed 1 thread also removed. What u guys think is there a way to repair it, just leave it and nothing should happen.View attachment 1715771145
If your able to torque it to specs I believe your good.Yes got it, should still be ok to clean up and install again?
It’s my sons car he should be fine, quick reflexes.Don't worry about it, it's only steering. What could possibly go wrong?
Reflexes don't help when a steering arm falls off! That said, if it was mine, I would clean it up and install the pitman arm just to check how far those threads engage into the nut.It’s my sons car he should be fine, quick reflexes.
Yes just took it apart this morning still needs cleaned up.
A dieI ordered a tap well see
Die I hope, but beware, a good "die" will cut more material off of the threads, you really need a "tread chaser". A thread chaser will clean up the threads without removing any material. Those threads are already missing some material. A tread chaser, some lock tight and a cotter pin will make pretty reliable.I ordered a tap well see
"staking"??/Whats that technique called when you cut a little groove in the pinion/nut and use a punch to bend the edge of the nut into the groove? effectively making it one of the last times it will move?
That's it!!!"staking"??/
