Car Forum / Jeep / August 2007Steering woes
Well, the shop got the new track bar today, they went to put it on, and low and behold my Currie steering is also bent. Tie rod is bent out (away from the axle), drag link is bent, like you would expect, at the joint where the tie rod attaches. Now what? Who's is better than Currie? -jenn Hi Jennifer, Real Jeeps have leaf springs that act as skid plates. If you take a rock in the center because that's the only way over, than that's the cost of doing business. Replace what you have: http://www.rockcrawler.com/techreports/currie_steering/index.asp Or convert to leaf springs: http://billhughes.com/TJleafSprings/tjLeafFront.jpg God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ > Well, the shop got the new track bar today, they went to put it on, and low and > behold my Currie steering is also bent.

Convert to manual steering? :) >>On Aug 27, 8:41 pm, jbjeep <jbj...@saw.net> wrote: >>> Well, the shop got the new track bar today, they went to put it on, and low and [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >>If it got bent just due to steering force, then I don't know.

You're having fun, right? :) tw because a new one is like $5-700 bucks. >>jbjeep wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> >>tw How much is your deductible? :) :) tw > because a new one is like $5-700 bucks. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >>> >>>tw |
