Afternoon, all,
I've been away awhile. Lots of other stuff going on. But back now with a big issue with my 1996, Sahara-spec, HDJ80R-GNMEX/1 HD-T in Zimbabwe. My lad bounced the front wheel of a rock at some speed over Christmas. He had to change a load of parts from the wheel back through the axle. Now it seems there is damage to the steering box too. I'm working on this from a long way away, based on pictures and descriptions, not being there myself. So I'm hoping that the gang here can help out.
First question - the image here is of the splines on the steering box. Are they meant to be like that or are they meant to be straight? I have found another steering box from an 93/auto, but it seems to be different - it has some kind of electric relay, and the splines are straight.
I hope you are all well in these strange and scrappy times. And I hope someone (or someseverals) can help me with this.
