IML: steering stuff

["mike sutton" <mikanlin62@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Excuse me if this is out of place or Im wrong..but dont most if not all 
steering wheels have a master spline that corresponds to a like spline on 
the steering wheel shaft so they only go on one way?  Seems that my 
Imperial, Charger, Barracuda, and most every other car Ive ever owned was 
that way.  I wont argue the point of getting the basic alignments down 
before getting the car to a front end shop, but as I recall the various 
shafts all have a master spline, including the pitman arm .

On the subject of steering hoses....any competent hose shop should be able 
to make them, its just inverted flare fittings on the high pressure hose and 
they can usually re use the orifice in the center of the old hose.  If they 
cant, find a different shop.  Look in the archives, its been discussed 
several times before and I know that Dick Benjamin among others has made 
this same suggestion before.
