Default Unbalanced Engineering Steering Pin Fix

Has anyone tried these ?

I have that nasty movement on the wheel. Thought I was used to it but finding the slack will show when I'm really ear'oling and that's not good.

I used them and thought they worked great. I also Bought there Rag joint eliminator. There is no play in my 93's steering.

I assumed you had done it. Is the car high miles? There are 4 bolts that can come loose that can cause the same thing. Do you have any of the tools? I am sure there are videos on how to do it without the right tools but the spring compressor is nice to have. That friken snap ring can really fight you. Maybe you will get lucky. I have had some that came off easy and some that made me want to light the car on fire.

Good Luck.

Got the rag eliminator installed, boy what a delight !!
Also put the BMR front A arms on. Really good feel.
I bought the lower arms that have an inch drop.
I only wanted 1/2 inch so I shimmed under shock with 1/2 inch spacer.
Think I forgot fundamental geometry, angles of moment etc. Think I only need 1/4 inch spacer to get that 1/2 inch drop.
Hmmmmmm.
