Steering

I am catching up on my old habit these days, fishing (large river prawns aka Macrobrachium rosenbergii). Spent weekends with the trusted 131s going to my favourite fishing spots. The road / off road trip revealed an excessive play in the steering assembly. Inspection on the steering assembly confirmed the faulty parts - worn left and right ball heads. More bad news, need to be replaced are tie rods, and both lower arms + ball joints. The result is a very firm and precise steering feel. More fishing, mate!
