Thats for the advice peoples!
All is well now. I ended up removing the entire steering setup, finally removed
all tie rods ends (needed a bit of oxy assistance on one of them), replaced
these with new ones, got my steering box rebuilt, put some bumpsteer spacers in
and whacked it all back together. Am just waiting on an alignment and all
should be sweet. Bumpsteer has dissappeared and the steering is soooo much
better after the rebuild its unbeleivable.
Anyways shes back on the road again, finally!
Thanks again
Steve.
