thought the exhaust emmissions was just a visual check on our old motors?
was when i took mine.

[RStu]

Nah he chucked the probe down the exhaust, it was way over and that's with most going out of the leak in the back box! lol

Remember seeing a draft maintenance instruction once concerning possible cracks on an alloy wheel "visual check for air leak"

Nearside steering locking device missing

What a bummer - my one is missing too.

BTW, WTF is it? A wheel clamp?

[bigjohnie]

probably its the split pin in the track rod end.

[Mexicomark]

Or the locking washers on the steering rack...

[dasadrew]

probably its the split pin in the track rod end.

Ahh! OK. Yeah, those track rod end tapers have a habit of just dropping out of the steering arms - especially if here's only a castellated nut holding them in place.

Which flexible coupling is worn, the steering joint? Get a GP4 UJ on there mu lad

The imbalance isn't being caused by leaking wheel cylinders is it?

Yes he said the steering joint is worn, but didn't fail it? Do you mean the back cylinders in the drums?
