Regular Posts: 97 Location: North Germany | Hi Phil, I bought my New Yorker with - allegedly - a defective steering gear. Sven / Wizard then told me that only the rubber was defective. In reality: the rubber was almost gone. I could have used a replica rubber, but I made one myself out of nylon. So I have no steering play at all and saved 1000$.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 357 | Check the part number before you buy, there are two different lengths of the insulator, a short and a long. The locator is at a different height. Del | ||
