I thought it would be more of a common problem with just one fastener at the bottom of the rail. Guess you just lucked out...

Re: Power Steering Make Up 56 Wagon
Sure, I feel very privileged. (haha)
It might have something to do with the car having a replacement oem frame. . Last edited by dmsfrr; 02-24-2018 at 08:09 PM. |

Re: Power Steering Make Up 56 Wagon
KULTULZ,
Received the PM with the sites, thank you. I installed the factory PS on my 53 Merc last year and could not for the life of me find the crush nuts. I had to improvise by taking a fender "J nut" and cutting of the bottom piece and then soldering it onto a coat hanger and then threading it threw a bolt hole in the frame and and down to the hole in the frame where the crush nut would go. Then I mounted the bracket with the other two bolts and then very carefully threaded the bolt up through the hole into the nut. It works fine but I always wanted to have the correct insert in the event I do it again. When I was looking all I found were Sert's and they are round, and from the feedback I got, they didn't hold all that well anyway. Thanks again. Merc Cruzer |

Re: Power Steering Make Up 56 Wagon
I tried to find the nut locally, so I stopped in the local Chevy dealer, parts department, this afternoon and took them a picture of the "crush nut' and it was like living the add from Rock Auto. Bottom line, since I didn't have a Chevy part number, they had no way of looking it up. I tried their body repair department and again no luck....the manager at least knew what it was.
You wouldn't by chance have a part number, or a year of application? Thank you, Merc Cruzer |

Re: Power Steering Make Up 56 Wagon
The instructions tell you the nut, bolt and washer "tool" is only good for a couple of installations and they are not kidding. Just one more thing I learned to do that I probably will never do again. "All this knowledge and no where to use it"
