[QUOTE="Vollmer, post: 92453, member: 8014"] Dual rack n pinion steering. Was getting a bit stiff to steer. [ATTACH=CONFIG]4886._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]4880._xfImport[/ATTACH] Hard to see from the pics, but I essentially detached the steering coupler so I could access the ends of the steering cables. I bought a 1" vinyl hose, 10' long. I hooked one end of the hose over the steering cable, raised the other end to the rafters, and connected a funnel to that end. Filled it with atf and let gravity do the work. Let it sit like this for 2 days on each cable. Working the steering cables back n forth a few times a day. I was worried that with just gravity it wouldn't work its way thru the entire cable(s), but when I unhooked everything and gave it a full steer back n forth I could here it gurgling at the steering wherl, so it seems like it did. Steering is now silky smooth. I think it was $175 for new cables. This fix cost me $12. [/QUOTE]
