Hi guys today we look at fixing the sloppy steering on a vw bus and also look at a basic wheel alignment process. Update, the bolt head tabs were bent into the right spots to stop the steering bolt from backing out :)
Better fix the tabs on the pinch bolt lock 7:26 or it's gonna back out over time. One tab needs to bend over the flat on the arm and the other on a flat on the bolt. Ot herwise a great video on the steering system.
Hey Craig, love the vids you're putting up. You mention that your orange bus us airbaged. Any chance you can share the set up? I have a 62 thats been airbaged by previous owner but in correctly, the rear is a mess and would love to see the set up and what gear you've used. Cheers, I really enjoy your channel, keep on bussing
Hay Adam, no problem, its a ce engineering front and rear set up. I got the full kit from the uk. Only problem is the rear doesn't go low enough. I'll be doing a full video on the set up and a close look under the bus soon ;) Cheers Niko.
@demop garage. Hello. I have a ‘70 Bus & I have quite a bit of play. I noticed that the steering wheel moves quite a bit even before the steering coupler begins to move the steering box. If my steering wheel nut is loose, could that cause play? The steering wheel is loose & has a crack near the center where the horn is. Thanks in advance.
Hay Paul the steering wheel has a spline so try tighten up the nut first and see what happens to the play. If the wheels cracked I would be replacing it pronto.
@@Demop_VW_garage Ok 👌 I roll try tightening it up first. I remember a long time ago have the steering box rebuilt and the shop owner apologizing for cracking the steering wheel when they were trying to take it off. I do plan on replacing with a new replica. Thanks 🙏🏼
