    Part number...

    I emailed Flamming River for the part number for an 86 SVO and this is what I got...

    "We recommend a replacement steering shaft - part number FR1504P for power steering which eliminates the rag joint. The cost is $185.00 plus shipping and it will far outlast the original set up.
    Regards,
    Flaming River Ind."

    Hope this helps!
    Hoping to get on the track soon

              Bud, I have a new rag joint in my SVO and I'm still not happy with the steering "feel". I was just wondering what around town drivability "nuances" I can expect with the Flaming River shaft. Is there any bump steer or harshness. I have the wallet out, but i'm waiting to pull the trigger. Thanks in advance for the response.

                Check them inners!

                Be sure to check your inner tie rod ends. It's kinda hard to tell when just driving. You could either have a wobble or just wandering feeling. Jack it up and try to move / shake the tire with your hands at the 3:00 and 9:00 positions. They're fairly easy to change. I won't go into that now...
