[QUOTE="BJ1, post: 344307, member: 355"] Yep the technical term used above is spot on - your beam is buggered. I note there is a complete lack of grease on the idler pin - I expect the pin has seized ripping the rusty housing apart. Don't even think about welding this up - get a good rust free beam for about £100 - £150 and put that on. [b]Don't[/b] drive the van at all - you will have no steering if the housing parts company with the beam which will probably be in the first mile. When you put the new beam on, grease every point at least once a year until it oozes out of the joints and swivels. [/QUOTE]
