Anyone ever replaced on their own the pitman arms, idler arms, sway bar? Tie rods? Gear box/rack?
Steering is miserable on my car very hard to turn when not moving , meaning parking the car, and when driving on highways a loose steering wheel.
New power steering pump put it, new belt, there's power steering fluid in the reservoir, and yes a small leak from the hydro boost which needs a new gasket in the middle and by the end by the brake pedal.
So all the basic checks were done and now jumping to the other steering components, planning bon getting an alignment so thought to fix the steering before I waste money on an alignment. Brand New tires as well, and will replace front and back shocks or springs if needed.
just curious if anyone actually replaced any of this steering components in the front of the vehicle by themselves?
As having all or lots replaced at a shop would require me to have a money tree in my backyard.
Assuming if you did such a repair you would know the parts of a car, but for those who like all those fancy words and want to understand, here you go..
