[93hummer]

The 93 Hummer can finally steer again. The steering fiasco started a month ago when I found both PS pump brackets cracked and broken. Mark and I welded them back up and reinforced them but one reinforcement was slightly too large and thus when the belts went back on, the bracket would hit the other bracket and not move enough to fully tighten the belts. I drove it with squealing belts for 2-3 more weeks, they only squealed around sharp turns. Then last week one of the high pressure lines from the pump to the hydroboost backed off a little, leaking PS fluid everywhere, there are still a couple of trails leaving my driveway... So yesterday after 3 trips to NAPA, I finally got some belts that are not too long and not too short and tightened the loose hose fitting.

So I can finally steer once again, it is wonderful to turn corners and not hear squealing belts or a pump making noise cause it low on fliud... there were a few times when I used to hear both noises!!! Hopefully I can make it out to the AO swap meet today..... instead of wrenching on my junk all day.
