I always wanted a car to restore from the ground-up. Looks like my GN is that car for me lol
Ok, so, just had a set of HR poly motor mounts installed, which took care of my upper A-arm hitting the downpipe. Also put in new springs and shocks on all 4 corners, new Spohn lower A-arms with new ball-joints, new front brakes and adjusted the rears. So far, so good. I have 2 major problems left:
1) I have a good amount of play in the steering wheel. My boss (former mechanic, very knowledgeable) seems to think its the steering box. It almost feels like there's a lot of play between the gears in the steering box. This is coupled with the steering wheel shaking at speeds of 45+, moreso under heavy acceleration. Does this sound like the steering box or something else?
2) The front wheels rub when I turn the wheel about 1 full rotation in either direction. I'm assuming this is an indication that the body mounts are due, or the front tire is too big for the wheel well (235/60/15). I don't think its the wheel backspacing, but I suppose it could be I guess. Thoughts?
Thanks as always everyone.
