That got the attention of oncoming drivers.Yep the steering drop idlers wear out. Rebushing them is a pretty simple job.The problem is the use of worm gear instead of rack and pinion. Now, worm gear has some strength advantages, which is why a cross-country vehicle would use it, but it definitely is more play-inducing than rack and pinion.

ZSM381 never looked like that in its wildest dreams.List of "creature comforts":-No roof liningFixed seats, with the "seat cushion", a slab of foam rubber in a vinyl cover.Bare metal dash.Bare minimum of instrumentation.One wiper No floor matsBare metal pedals.No door trim.No heater--ventilation was by opening the rectangular vents under the windscreen.Sliding windows.

I call that displacement molding. Did it in university, never encountered it again.McBryce.Also called Investment Casting in some industrial circles, a term I found very confusing at first because my mind first went to the financial usage of the word investment and it sounded to me like it was a particularly lucrative casting process.Ah, that's the word I was trying to remember. We actually called it displacement casting, not molding.McBryce.Yebbutt... none of those names specifically refer to the process which uses 3DP, and any means of referencing it using them would be much more convoluted and probably include the term Lost PLA anyways. To "Makers" familiar with 3DP, Lost PLA means the same as Lost PLA Investment Casting would probably mean to you. mnem*toddles off to grill some bits o' pig*

Back in the time when people did such things the old way, it was "lost wax" casting.

Much like "The Two Ronnies" sketch where the gardeners moved the big hole from one end of the garden to the other in easy stages.
There was the old joke that Ireland was planning to change to LHD too. To make things easier they decided that trucks and buses would swap on the 1st of January and if all went well, passenger cars would swap over from the 1st of February. McBryce.
