Broken tie rod slider and question for Q'on
Yesterday, I tried umpteen times to repair a broken tie-rod slider, finally succeeding after about 45 minutes. What a pain in %&#!. You have to be able to turn the car on with power to the servo and kind'a reassemble it at the same time, in order to check that the potentionmeter pin engages/lines up and that the steering works correctly; otherwise you risk the pot pin not being engaged after reassembly and having to start all over.
Q'on, on your rental cars, how often have you had to do this? ...this is my first time having to repair this on any of my 7 cars ....I hope it is not all that common to have to go into that front servo area. Or I need to 20 years younger.
