I ordered a rebuild kit from mustangs plus, and the steering kit that came said it was for a power steering car. I called them and told them that I have a manual steering, and they said dont worry, the parts are all the same. No problem.

Well I will be damned if they are not the same. It is probably a good thing they are close today.



Here are some other pics so far.





The wife says its a mess, I just told her it looks pretty manly

 

man that sucks. I have that happen all the time with Dallas Mustang, and it sure does erk me. Well good luck getting the right parts.

Sure is looking good!

 

On a positive note,that one frame rail looks really solidand your garage looks alot like mine,including empty beer bottles at each area I worked at.

 

Many empty beer bottles. Last night we had to shut down about midnight due to emptying beer bottles to quickly

 

i dont understand... what is so different??? there is a curve yes, but cant u just move the arms forward to compensate????

 

The curve would push the steering link about 2 inches forward on the drivers side only, the passenger side would still be at the regular mounting point. I am still faily new to turning wrenches, but I know that cant be good. Maybe I it is not that big of a deal, but for $1000 I want the correct parts to do it right, not half a$$ it.

 

I agree.Get what you paid for or get your cash back. Thats too much money to settle for wrong parts.

 

Woa, dejavu. really does suck though.

 

I remember you saying you had some wrong stuff, was it the same parts for you also??

I need some extra stuff, maybe now I can get it overnight for free

 

no, they sent me some "strut bushings" and had to wait a few days for one of my tie rod sleeves. oh and had to call them back to get my seats actually sent to me because they forgot the rear and front vinyl covers. But I must say they did take care of it.
