ZK Fairlane Pt6 - Front Suspension and Steering Box Tear Down

We totally strip the front and of the Fairlane and remove the steering box. The usual consumable wear with the front end; upper and lower control arm and radius rod bushes, sad looking tie rod ends, totally knackered spring saddles and a pair of unwanted 6 cylinder springs. But, the part I was interested in was the leaky steering box, which virtually ran along the chassis rail to the back seat area! So we pull the steering box out and disassemble it to take a look. Hope you enjoy!

Another excellent episode. I was born in 1970 and did my apprenticeship from 88 to 92 in Gippsland, I’m pretty sure it puts us in the same sort of era. Great content

Springs freak me out a lot. I agree a bit of fear is better than complacency.

Absolutely, the standard prerequisites are a good nights sleep, a coffee to keep you alert and a toilet trip immediately prior to the work!

@@PeterAndersons I remember as a kid watching some silly tv show series in the mid 80’s and the Dad was working on an old car and wasn’t using jack stands. Car fell of course and killed the guy. I think about it every single time I jack up a car and also put the wheel I take off under the sill too. It’s the same with springs and I decompress them like you with spring horizontal and always use hand tools for feel too. I’m no mechanic, but my uncle is a retired mechanic and I spent a lot of time in his workshop. He said the best advice I can give you about working is yes it’s important to get the job done right and in a timely manner, but the most important job is doing safe and returning home every day

Steering boxes have always scared me a bit but not as much as removing springs. I've had to do that. The possibility of injury or death does focus the mind 😄. I'm confident that you will have the steering working beautifully. There is a nasty flu strain going around making lots of people sick. The guy who did the roadworthy on my Austin came down with it too, twice. The Austin passed with flying colours by the way. The lift up doors on the car port sound like a great idea for both summer and winter working. I hope you get well soon. 😊

Watched a video from Eric The Car Guy some years ago when he had a spring take off on him when the spring compressor slipped. Thankfully the spring went past him and missed him. He went on to highlight the dangers and precautions needed when compressing springs.

you might find the binding was just in the adjustment on the main shaft worm roller. should have slight clearance when in the neutral position. the adjustment screw is in the top of the shaft. its a cam. I have some shorts on here of my xe engine bay paint job. And the PS Box manual below.

Nothing wrong with showing the springs some respect while they are under compression. Being injured is worse than being sick!

I've been doing a bit of reading and have been put on to John Deere Cron Head Gearbox Grease for steering boxes, when cold it stays like a grease when warm it is like a heavy oil.

@@PeterAndersons Hi Peter, thanks for the quick reply. Do you have a recommendation for a company/ companies to have these services done? I assume they are in Victoria, I think you might have mentioned QLD previously sending some bolts away along time ago. I am interested in getting some work done also and would appreciate any referral advice you can give on companies youve used and trust. Thanks
