Rsaid to e: {Chrysler 300} Somewhat Urgent steering

[Noel Hastalis <cpaviper@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

James,

John Fowlie sent a Facebook message yesterday - saying his Big M phones and internet is down due to the heavy rains.

He said to send him a Facebook message and he'll respond.

Hi all,

I took a 3 day weekend and run to my place out of town to swap the steering on the 300K.

I found that I want to go back in time and slap someone around!

When I pulled the column out and went to tap out the roll pin, I found a mess. A totally shredded rubber isolation bushing and a COTTER PIN in place of the hardened steel pin!

Someone could have been killed had that rather soft cotter pin sheared. A cotter pin is not designed for that.

Now I am at a dead stop. I tried to give John up at Big M a call and his line is screwed up with static when I try and call. If you have ever seen his office...

Anyone who can put their hands on one of those pins, can I get a detailed measurement of all dimensions? Also the thickness of it walls. I do not remember if it was a solid pin, a split pin or what. Some photos would help.

Crap. Crap. Crap. I hate driving 80 miles and clearing three days for nothing.

Thanks all, James
