Title: Spreadsheet of suppliers and parts needed
Post by: willo on September 21, 2009, 08:08:44 PM: Hi There,
I posted this inside another posting then found this section. :o

I'm wondering if there is someway on this forum where we can have an excel spreadsheet for us to update with part numbers/replacement part costs and contact details. That way everyone knows to go to the one spot to check for suppliers and what parts are available.
EG didn't I see somewhere that LJ Steering rack boots fit a CF steering rack? This is important info and could be kept in one spot for future reference.

Cheers

Neil

was it lh or lj
if craig isn't around to say what he reckons, we just refer to the magic parts matching list, anytime of the broken down day or night,
no sifting through through posts or waiting for a response, while the kids sit in the busted beddie on the side of the highway saying "why is daddy in the internet cafe?"
nice one willo

I have replaced the steering coupling bush..U can get at Pedders Suspension

But there is a UNI Joint on the shaft..... that joins above the steering coupling bush?

Has anyone had success in finding a replacement?

Mine has play in it and vibrates thru to the steering wheel

I had mine replaced about 3 years ago by a fitter and turner . It was one of the best things i could of done No more shuddering ;D I think it was out of a susuki or diahatsu (something small ) :)but it was perfect.
