Rack & PInion Install

[peter]

I wish to take this time to thank Rebel, Smilie and Stan for the WONDERFUL pictures which accompany your informative posts. Keep it up!

[Rebel]

Ya know Stan,,the guy may be right and I apologize. I think I may have given you the part number for the poly swaybar bushings and not the tierod ends. Very sorry. I'll get that tonight and post. Maybe Skip will see this and post before then. Don't have a shoot out at noon with the parts guy yet.


Peter,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Peter, I can shoot you a pic of the Mustang rack still in the wrapping it came in but that's about it so far.

Shoot him a pic Stan,,it'll keep him occupied for the time being. It doesn't take much to keep Petey entertained.

Stan,,sorry, guess I trashed the boxes the ends came in but did find an email from Skip saying they are 2000 Voyager ends. Sorry for leading you down the wrong road there when I said they were 2004's and gave the wrong part number.

[Rebel]

MrRoboto,,sorry so long in getting back with you on the weight of the parts I pulled but have had to much going on for the last couple of weeks. Anyway, it was a total of 60 lbs removed and after I get all the shaft parts back from Skip I'll give ya a total weight of what's going back on.

Larry, I had a little time last week to do some fabbing on the steering shafts. One more thing to do and they'll be on their way to you. With the mounting brackets and support bar.

[Rebel]

Skip,,you are the man bud. You are really something. At least you did something to help out with my slow moving projects. All Peter does is bitch bitch bitch.
Thanks again Skip. Your Cad. tails will be shipped tomorrow USPS and please let me pay at least for the shipping on the steering stuff,,no joke. Oh yes,,there's a spherical fitting in there also,,you gotta give me a number $$$$ bud.

[Smiliesafari]

Yes, the spherical end is in there. Now, Larry,Larry Larry, the Cad tails are more than enough. I can't thank you enough, Bro. If we send Petey a "BINKY" it will keep his mouth busy.

Is there any way to make the front tires turn farther on an Astro AWD 2003 to make the turning circle a bit tighter?
the Astro turn circle is kinda big at 44 ft?

or did GM limit the wheel turn amount to make the van less likely to turn over of something?

thanks

The turning radius is probably limited by the angle of the CV jounts on the front axles. And then the usual things like interference with body and suspension parts.
