| Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 50 mph on dry road conditions, the vehicle pulled to the left and had steering problems. the contact had the ball joints and tires replaced, but the problem persisted. the vehicle was taken to two independent repair shops and a power steering rebuild shop who determined that the gear box was defective. the contact purchased a rack and pinion system, and replaced the gear head steering box, which corrected the problem. the contact took the gear head steering box apart and noticed the 3 teeth were defective. 1 of the teeth appeared to be welded on, and the other 2 were hand grinded. also, all 3 teeth were not concentric. the sector shaft manufacturer was contacted, but provided no resolution. the contact expressed concern because if the welded teeth fractured, the steering could lock up. also, the contact expressed that the teeth should be forged, not welded together. the shaft sector was manufactured by gearheads cruiser products. the steering gear box was prone to locking up. updated 02/13/07.*jb | |||
