Loose Steering In 1998 Series TXT w/ Frame Mounted Steering
I have a 1998 electric Series TXT with frame mounted steering. The steering is very loose, and has excessive "slop" in the big-*** bolt in the middle of the first photo. It's part 15 - the bushing - on page 115 of 28646.pdf. I also have a ruptured boot, which means crud may have gotten into the rack and pinion part, though it feels tight and smooth. It appears that the only problem is the bushing, but if anyone has experience with working on these, what parts should I just go ahead and replace, since I don't want to pull this thing apart more than once, and I also don't want to have it apart waiting for parts to arrive.
An impossible question, I know, but if there's a general consensus that you replace X when you service Y, that would be nice to know.
thanks
Adam
