    Does anybody have any tips for reinstalling the draglink? Is there a special tool that will compress the spring inside of the draglink so that you can pop the ball in or is it a case of use a screwdriver for leverage on the spring and pop it in???

    Putting the steering back together is alot tougher than it was to take apart :mad:

    If the adjuster on the end is backed out far enough it should go right on.

    The adjuster is backed out all the way, but the spring and seat are all the way at the top of the opening....

    So, um, dont mind me. I am a little slow sometimes.....it seems that because i took it apart 3 days ago, i couldnt remember the proper way to put it back together.....

    my books have an exploded view, but i didnt study them close enough to realize that the ends are different....:D
