So... tonight I was finishing up my To Do list before tomorrow's ride (just got the fenders trimmed, woo-hoo!) and I'm finding I can't do anything tonight about the last one... I've got some creaking/clunking/snapping in my steering. It happens as I turn the wheel from side to side.

I finally got someone to turn the wheel for me while I listened and looked underneath. It sounds like all the noise is coming from my steering box. Nothing is moving that shouldn't be - the noise appears to be completely internal.

Should I bow out of tomorrow's ride because of this problem? I haven't even started researching what it could be yet. I really want to go on the ride tomorrow, but at the same time I don't want to jeapordize everyone else's time by breaking down on the trail... For those of you that I'd be riding with tomorrow, whatchya think?

hmm...your call, I say come down, if it breaks we'll figure it out

 

[Jawa]

I'm hoping that'll be the consensus. Maybe Yellaheep can come with a spare steering box. :laugh3:

 

[Frank Z]

Check your trackbar mount bolts, frame side. There are also 3 bolts under the drivers side motor mount that are probably loose.

 

[snwy_mnt_jeep]

hey Frank Z, how's it lookin for you, you going to make it??

last post I saw there was a football game/ werk and was in the air?

 

[Frank Z]

I'll be there for the run but gotta bug out Toot-Sweet. I need to get back in time for my son's football game.

Engine running or engine off?

I had a gawdawful clunk and sector shaft play, went and bought another steering gear before I read that you should check with the engine running. So now I have a standby steering gear, and a new TRE on the Heep.

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Jawa....... I'll see if I happen to have a steering box here at the house, more than likely, I took any I had to the lot but if I have one, I'll toss it in the truck.

Sounds like we'll have at least 2 grills being brought to the run, but I'll bring mine until we all meet up at H.D. and take stock of what everyone brought. Sounds like everyone is fairly self-sufficient on drinks, but I'll toss a few cans of raspberry tea in just in case. I'll bring the utencils and plates.

Have fun guys, don't break too much shite! :cheers:

........can't wait to see the pics & vids!!!!

Check your trackbar mount bolts, frame side. There are also 3 bolts under the drivers side motor mount that are probably loose.

I replaced my trackbar mount when I did the lift, so maybe loose bolts are the culprit. I'll check it out in the morning before I leave, thank you.

I don't see anybody telling me to stay home yet, so I'll see ya'll in the morning!

looks like a good size crew headed up, should be a good trip, I know have a passenger, but have plenty of room in the Heep for stuff if the Truggy's need cargo space
