Gasses yes. I started to think about the effect on hydraulic fluid and got a bit dizzy. It’s been a while since my fluid dynamics class.

That’s quite high as I suspected. I’ll be changing out my hollow crush washer to a solid one in the future. Thanks Guys!

I saw that as well Wayne. 200 PSI at 500F seems low for a steering pump but I am not sure what pressure steering pumps develop? Anybody know what pressure steering pumps generate? Also PV=nRT right so the washers should be able to sustain higher pressures at a lower temperature.

Wayne, thanks for the insight.Sounds like the wrong washer then. I appreciate insight as it is a critical system to get right. I’ll look into this to verify that is indeed what I used. So all hollow type are low pressure washers? Or is the AN900 identifiable differently? The new solid washers...

True enough. Hollow crush washers no. I prefer the hollow type as the seal every time as they conform better IMO.

It’s super high pressure. The washer in the picture below is the “hollow” type that collapses and thus not advisable to be reused. This I believe is the best washer for this application. It may or may not be what the factory used. I got it at Nappa but the guy literally had a kit and just gave...

You can’t reuse the crush washers.

The right fitting was the challenge. But yeah the crush washer was a special design if my memory serves me. I can go back to my thread and check it out if needed. It was a while ago and I didn’t remember crap lol.

I guess ill wait until it’s running to fully evaluate the backlash. I am not there yet but hopefully soon.

I am just getting the car back together after 3 plus years. I just installed the steering column (factory power steering set up) and noticed slop in the steering (maybe +/- 25 degrees?). This is with the car not running. Wanted to know if this is typical or if I need to tighten it up. Yes I...

Whats an acceptable amount of backlash in my steering? Is the typical source of backlash in the gearbox? If so is there any adjustment or is a rebuild in order if the backlash is too much? Is backlash the right term? Is it measured typically in degrees or total travel in inches? Thanks for...

Good to know thanks. I just elongated mine yesterday but after getting it in I need more length to line up the 4 support holes. I am not planing on putting any “pins” back as most folks say it’s not necessary. The manual says otherwise but conceptually the assembly shouldn’t go anywhere. At...

Did this ever get resolved? My 70 steering column is also 1/2 too short! Trying to figure it out!

Thanks they look the same but hard to verify diameters of pins and exact sizes. Getting it locally so I will verify risk free. Thanks for your input!

Anybody know if this will fit my 1970 BBody Satellite? They are indicated for later models 1979-1992. But they look similar very similar. Or was there a design change that makes them non compatible?

The undercarriage will fall through and create a hole that goes all the way to China!

Not sure as I am running disk brakes in front but I would wager they are. Do some digging as well as see if anyone replies here.

I used these on my rear wheels on my 1970 Sport Satellite. Same as yours. BUT I would find another higher quality brand if possible as I had to chase out every dam thread as they weren’t very crisp. I am not sure whats “better” as its all Chinesium...

Thanks guys. I don’t recall feeling a vent type bolt. When I get back under her I will see what it is but at least I know what it should be if its not.

Can some one tell me what type of bolt (more specifically what head type) is used for mounting the rear flex brake line Y distribution block to the axle? I have to feel for it and can't see it.
