Steering coupling..

Post by **fullsunian** » 18 Jul 2010, 23:08

Hi all, I'm trying to find a replacememt steering coupling for the one at the bottom of the steering shaft in the vehicle cab. The one that has the two pins passing through, it wears out and makes the steering rattle like hell

Can't find them on brickwerks, anybody know anywhere that does them?
Thanks in advance...

Ian on mine I have 2 rubber grommets that those 2 pins go into(I think) and not bare metal. Are your grommets missing?

Failing that and if its the other flexible union you need could have one knocking about here and pop it over to Proctors.....

Andy, thanks for that.. The grommets are there but have gone oval. Like I said it knocks like hell over bumps

Going to strip it tomorrow and have a good look..

Mine has a jubilee clip round it, was wondering why and I'm guessing I've found out!

Probably not the greatest solution ? Isnt this the bit that's supposed to come apart in a crash to stop you getting a steering wheel to the face

cheers all,

Mark

They are about £1.00 each and make a massive difference when un-worn. Find a local Cordwallis and order them, its not worth messing around for that money.

This has just reminded me to change my grommet bushes too as my steering has been sloppy in the middle for years

Cheers

Just a timely reminder that I had rattly steering for a while, until one day it went clunk and then floppy

It was because one of the bolts on the first flexi joint had worked loose and then dropped out as we were going along the A14

Leisure battery terminal bolt saved the day
