Re: [T3] Crunchy steering?


Well... if your car is vvery,  I mean VERY rusty your front frame head may
just have collapsed!  that spelled the end of my old 73 5 years after I sold
it.

MUCH more likely that the rubber column joint has failed... DONT drive it
till you check things out.  We should ALL check our disc's out, especially
if they have been replaced as the repros are made from very poor rubber and
generally start cracking in just a year or so.
