90 steering box

<< < (3/3)

the loon:
the saga continues

Spoke to my mechanic today. They've taken the old box off and it fell apart when removed.
:?

Apparently the main cog that goes from steering shaft into box fell apart on removal.

Was told that if this had gone while driving it would of been goodnight as would of lost all steering
 :shock:
somebody up there likes me it seems

Ash
they've said "it's the worst condition for a still working steering box they have ever seen"

Think its a credit to solihull there.

landyman Ash:
I agree!! A credit to the Land Rover designers!  They certainly made them abusable.

Best bit is, even when they are totally wrecked, you can still get them re-con!  :D

the loon:
WOO HOO   :D
Got the 90 back today with all new steering box fitted.
The garage kept the old one for me so they could show me exactly what the problem was.
You could turn the top lug a full 360 and the bottom lug just did nothing at all.
Just to celebrate have given the 90 a waxoyl as well to get it ready for winter
 :wink:
