Hi All,
My new-to-me '73 2.0 is in need of the Turbo tie rods for sure, but I am a little suspect about the steering u-joints under the dash. They seem tight when I grab or wiggle them, but if I turn the wheel I can feel (and hear) them undulate. They just feel a bit sloppy when turning the wheel. I have seen almost nothing discussed about them, have not seen anything in books/manuals other than identifying them, and have not seen them offered in parts catalogs. I know the Rodders use them and they are available that way BUT....does anyone have any insight on the maintenance and or replacement of these? I know I should do the tie rods first but is this u-joint problem a common occurence? BTW, this 914 is too cool. I have hardly driven my other cars since I got this!!!
