[QUOTE="Beerj, post: 763798, member: 10035"] Nothing too exciting. Finally got the bugs completely resolved in her steering. But leading up to it, I swapped the orbital, swapped mine and her rams, bypassed the cooler and disassembled the flow control valve. None of which helped. But things got better when I loosened the mounting bolts for the orbital. So I guess if the steering shaft has any radial load on the orbital, it gets weird. Obviously, I couldn't just leave the orbital loose so I was about to add a couple of ujoints to the steering shaft. But instead, I just slightly sanded down the male end of the shaft where it goes into the coupler. Still has a thru-bolt so there's no slop when turning, but that little bit of clearance makes up for any misalignment between the shaft and orbital. All fixed. On the buggy, I very slowly lowered the seats about 2". Just something I've been meaning to do forever. Also made the rear firewall (not sure if I mentioned that on here or not). Oh, and threw on a set of balljoint eliminators and replaced my carrier bearing bearings. We went out last weekend for the first time since the harlan ride. Was just the 2 of us which was nice. Gave her a chance to wheel without feeling self conscious about other people watching her. She definitely benefited from the properly working steering. [ATTACH type="full"]161513[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
