Hey Roy== It is grounded through the steering box. If it has a rag universal joint there is supposed to be a ground wire to cross the joint. GoodluckJoe
On a Cavalier, always check the ground wire going from battery negative to the plate under the battery. That connection gets dirty and fails, and everything including the steering shaft gets its ground through that. If you are getting low voltage at your steering shaft, that connection is likely the problem.
there is but it just puts lube in the intermediate shaft
Not an answerable question. Missing need option and specific identification of what steering shaft. There are at least three.
Check the recall on the problem with the power steering pinion shaft....maybe what u need instead recall #02v286000 (try motor trend.com or google it)
It's a real pain. If you have access to a hoist, the easiest way to do it is to disconnect the steering shaft and lower the rear of the sub-frame to get access to the fittings on the steering rack. Had to do this once because the loop in the line used as a cooler rusted out.
It is located on the back side of the engine, where the distributor originally went.
you have a bad cv drive shaft
Yes
I was wondering the same thing for my 2002 Cavalier and found this: http://www.colinkraft.com/shaft.php It works for Impalas, Monte Carlos, Cavaliers, Sunfires, etc.
To remove the steering wheel from your 1985 Chevy Celebrity: First remove the horn button. There should be a keeper at the tip of the steering shaft, remove it. Remove the nut that holds the wheel in place. Use a steering wheel puller to actually remove the steering wheel.
its not the steering stabilizer, i bet its the intermediate steering shaft. they had a lot of problems with that part. feels like someone is banging your steering components around with a broom stick, right?
Inside the lower part of the engine. The pistons are connected to the crankshaft by way of rods. Here is a rough diagram.
They had a problem with the steering column shaft slip joint, it was too sloppy. They have a replacement part to cure that problem available at the dealer.
