Hi all, my Syclone's steering is too loose. What do you recommend?

Thanks! :tup:

I do have a new pitman and idler arm going in this week (that should help a bit). Anyone selling polygraphite bushings?

Besides all of this stuff:

Edelbrock Tie Rod Sleeves: EDL-5252 $33.88 (pair)
2 Moog tie rod inner: MOG-ES2072RLT $57.39 (each)
2 Moog Tie Rod Outter: MOG-ES2249RLT $40.39 (each)
1 Moog Idler Arm: MOG-6251T $44.39 (each)
1 Moog Pitman Arm: MOG-K6339 $42.39 (each)
2 Moog Ball Joint Upper: MOG-K5289 $50.99 (each)
2 Moog Ball Joint Lower: MOG-K5320 $52.39 (each)


This totals to $522.98

I'd look at replacing the A frame bushings and the sway bar bushings. I used the poly stuff with graphite but new rubber ones will be OK.

It will improve your ride. Really.

Good luck.

Thansk all, great recommendations. :tup: How hard is all this stuff to install (sans the tie rod and pitman arm)? Anyone have the part number for the bushing kits?

Thanks,

After reading the s-series posts I would agree and first start with the upgraded shaft (the jeep ones) and the zq8 box.

Let me know if you want to do this because I have both sitting on the shelf and I am in the middle of moving. Would rather sell the stuff than move it... (sorry for the sales pitch...)

Strangely a smaller steering wheel made the most difference for me.

If your steering wheel has a lot of lateral play there are also 4 torx-head bolts that hold the column together that like to back themselves out over time. There's a decent write-up around here on how to fix it.
