He didnt give you a ticket.

They see and deal with all kinds of "normal" people and Kooks, maniacs, druggies, drunkies, psychos...on and on

How does he know you werent on something and because of that your timing was off/sloppy.

He checked that out

he did his job.



                 

Yesturday I saw a cop talking on his cell phone.

Every job, every single job ........has its privileges



  I go through yellow lights, and to be truthful to myself, if I was driving very attentively and safe,obeying the speed,  I would not being going through any yellow lights.  I know when a light has been green too long.That is why they are timed for the duration they are in

jim, lets get back to the steering- Is it a single bang when you turn the wheel or repetitive? Check and make sure the steering gear box is mounted tightly, I had one loosen up on me and it was an adventure. Is the steering dampner still good? It works the same as a shock absorber. Take one end off and see how stiff it is. Might need replacing. Then as Jack told me- Check the top of the steering gear box. There are 4 bolts on top that hold on the cover plate. Some times they come loose. You can acess it by taking out the spare tire well (Remove three screws across the top and lift the whole thing out)

I've got to stop typing and pull my motor out m-d &m& m-d2

Yellow don't mean GO FASTETR the light is going red. Running yellow is the same as running a Red light.  police*

Hi John, the damper is good and the steering box is firmly mounted. But I'll check the top of the steering box. I'll let ya know,thanks.

How about the tie rod ends? Lay under the front of the car while somebody turns the steering wheel. Look for any play or unusual "bang" from each of the components.

Tie rod ends are OK. Found the problem to be too much vertical movement in the roller shaft of the steering box. Could be some movement in the worm gear but I was unable to confirm. I adjusted the steering enough to take some of the play out of the shaft but still have about 1/16" of play. The seal on the roller shaft is leaking also. Thought I might pull out one of the plugs on top of the box and fill er up with gear oil. Tomorrow I hope to have an assistant.

Normally I won't get involved but I really have to ... go easy on the Police Officer hate rant. OK you're upset because you got nailed running a light ... it happens. Do yourself a favor don't lump ALL Police as being slackers that eat donuts and won't there when you needed them. That kind of stuff also happens ... it's unfortunate but life isn't perfect. I'm with a couple posts ago ... hats off to anyone that wants to risk their lives ON A DAILY BASES to keep people safe. It's not an easy job to do.

I'm off my soap box ...
