New Inner Tie Rod or new Rack. 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be bl on  Sat Dec 28 08:48 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Had a front wheel shake on our 91 740. Just did the front bushings. The inner strut rod bushing (where it bolts to the frame) was almost like new so I left it but the inner control arm bushing was shot, like really shot. It was allowing the control arm to move slightly fore and aft that resulted in a steering wheel shake (I'm guessing) plus a slight "clunk" when you let off the brake pedal after a stop as the front end "unloaded". Changing that bushing solved both problems. Both these are press off/on and this one gave my 12 ton press a fit. Examine the frame end bushings carefully. I found I could use a large pipe wrench to wiggle the control arm back and forth as I couldn't produce any loosness trying to shake the front wheels. If they're bad, most machine shops will let you use their press (often free) to swap them. Good luck
