I just like to say that you were F'kin lucky you didn't take yourself/your passengers or others out mate. I've just come back from Norfolk with my family at around 60 to 70 mph and if it had happened to me then, well I'd hate to think what would have happened

These things happen from time to time, just lucky it picked the right spot. Had I known there was an underlying issue then it would have been tackled. I think people only see me post quick mods on here and assume its a bodge when infact a lot more goes on "behind the scenes" if you catch my drift. ![]() |

having looked at you pic in post 26, you seem to be missing a very important part, ie the safety bracket, if the rubber splits as it is you will loose all steering, with the safety bracket in place you will at least retain some steering if a little slack, so I have to ask did you remove it or was it not there before????????????

in my humble and probably worthless opinion , by removing the safety bracket it was an accident waiting to happen

Yeah here we go, have a zoom on this picture, It may stop it falling to pieces all together but the car would be far from driveable if the bolts had come out anyway, and frankly I wouldnt be suprised if it would just fall out anyway if it came off.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/R20-1998-N...c#ht_387wt_904 The techs are good here, the mod they intend to do will be ace no doubt! ![]() |

That picture of the bracket looks as if the rubber shears, the metal bit will still keep the steering together, although sloppy, you would still have some steering.
Can't see exactly, but does the bent up bits stay on the shaft end? |

Just resurrecting this thread for Banshee who is planning his body lift soon.
Banshee mate, you can see the spines bit coming off the steering box, see the groove dug out in the splined arm, the knuckle/joint must do up over this, that way it is impossible for it to slip or come off ![]() We didn't realise at the time but mine was sitting past this ![]() Also a pic of the mod on end of page two for you. |
