You'll never get the new ones in without a press. Can't you borrow one from Autozone? That used loan-a-tool program is great as long as you have enough money to tie up in the deposit for the time it takes to perform repairs.

I think the symptoms only apply when you drive normally and the car wanders left/right and the steering response is vague/ambiguous and has no certain direction to it.banflu - 3/7/2005 4:02 PM
well it depeneds on what is meant by wandering.
at constant speeds and acceleration i do not feel any strange things, but at higher speeds, like 100km/hr with the steering straight, if i brake bit abrubtly, i feel that the front of the car like moves to the left or to the right, only a little bit, and i have to move the steering wheel in the opposite direction to correct it. maybe this will be better now after replacing the balljoints etc.
but i am also suspecting that i need to adjust my steering box because i have never adjusted it, and there is a little play in the steering.

ah ic. that is different to what i imagined. i was thinking about two pieces of fat and solid flatbars.. one on the top lap of the spring and one on the bottom. a hole in each of the flatbars centrs. a nut welded on the underside of the bottom one. a nut sitting on top of the top one. and you use a wrench/rutchet from the top hole to compress/decompress it.BF_JC230 - 3/9/2005 10:05 PM
