GEAR BOX

Next time you are going down the road and your steering feels a little loose, check it out. It could be more serious than you think.

This week I had to have this replaced. It's the steering gear box, old one in the vice, new one on the table.

Once in the shop the first job was to dig out the snow (from the trip to the ditch) and check for damage.

The old and new parts were compared to make sure everything was exact and would go together properly.

When it's -22*C outside you really appreciate a warm garage with a lift; makes the work go that much faster. Thanks to Abe everything went back in as planned and now we no longer have a loose steering system. Should be good for another 350, 000 kilometers.

Safe travels everyone and enjoy the sunshine.
