1985 Buick Grand National T-top car, original paint – 154k miles on the odometer. Original paint , frame is straight, never wrecked according to Carfax. I purchased this car back in ’94 with just over 100k on it. Mileage now is around 154K miles. This car has been mostly garage kept since...

Thanks for the tip! Put the torch to it and sure enough it came loose. Thanks again!!!

Sounds good, thanks my friend. Sure would be a lot eaiser if I was still up there and we could just do this face to face in the garage. Hopefuly I'll see you again soon!

I believe some Grand Charokee shafts will work, but mostly base model Charokee shafts through a greater year range.

unfortunatly, no... I have already checked Brian's site. Thanks for posting though.

My car does not have the Hydroboost setup. It's a late year model, so it runs the Powermaster setup found on the 86 and 87's. My setup goes straight to the steering gear and back.

Anybody have any luck finding replacement power steering lines for a Powermaster hot air? Need to replace my steering gear and due to rust my lines just snapped at the steering gear.

I just bought a good looking Jeep shaft for less than $10 at the u pull it. The plastic sleeve just popped off, but the shaft won't slide. Any ideas? Also, is this shaft always hard to line up with the steering gear end? I bought the wrong unit off Ebay, so I'm pretty sure this is the...

Hey buddy! Did you do this upgrade yet? Need to replace my steering box, so decided to do the upgrade. Bought a shaft off Ebay, it was the wrong one. Just went to the junk yard today and picked up a nice shaft for under $10. Searching the boards to see how to make my new shaft slide in and...

I also am about to Bill Murray in Caddyshack on my Mole. He was okay until he started digging under my patio made of pavers. I worked my butt off to put that patio in during the hot Florida summer, I'll be damned if that little bastard screws it up!!!

Just ordered a reman Delco unit from Rock Auto. I think I will do the Charokee conversion at the same time. Now to try and find a good Charokee shaft. I would buy off Ebay, but I paid for Moog parts since they were made in the US. I try to buy US made parts whenever possible. Also, I don't...

Dealing with the same issue, I have a fully rebuilt front end. Didn't realize I installed a coil spring wrong until the other day. That threw off my alignment. I made adjustments to the steering box before I found my problem. Fixed the spring and got another alignment. Tried to take my...

No removing of A arms, I installed poly bushings years ago, but not so many miles ago. The car was aligned after the poly bushings were installed in upper and lower control arms. I saw the clinic going on as the manager showed the mechanic how to deal with shims. I will trailer the car to the...

Trust me, I'm not complaining or blaming the alignment shop. I simply asked what would cause this situation. This is not the first time I have redone the front end on a GN and I have never had a problem like this. Yes, 0 degress Castor... like an idiot for the first time I did not ask for a...

I replaced the front coil springs, tie rods, ball joints, idler arm, and center link. I got the alignment done and I am at 0 degrees castor. The shop removed a ton of shims from the right front, but didn't touch the left front. The car will not return to center when driving. There are no...
