TRUE OR FALSE...
1) The only parts holding the TR3A steering cross link in place are the
inner tie rod ends and the drop arm/idler arm silentblocs.
TRUE - A TOTAL OF FOUR ATTACHMENT POINTS
2) If I cut or pry off the "washer" on the top of the drop arm
silentbloc, I should be able to remove the now destroyed silentbloc from
the drop arm.
TRUE - BUT......WHY NOT DISCONNECT THE SILENTBLOCS FROM THE DROP ARM AND
REMOVE IT INTACT WITH THE CROSS LINK?
3) If I then remove the inner t/r ends and unbolt the bracket holding
the idler arm, I should be able to remove the cross link, idler bracket
and (what's left of) the silentblocs.
TRUE (MAYBE) - IF YOU CAN GET THE CLEARANCE TO DRAG ALL THAT STUFF OUT
4) Installation is the reverse of removal.
TRUE (AS ALWAYS)
Each question is worth 25 points. You can receive extra credit if you
show up at my house and actually do the work! Thanks, all...
