Does anyone out there know of a cheap source for a steering relay gear
for and '85 GL.  Dealer wants an outrageous amount, Bus Depot about the
same.  Actually if anyone is parting out a dead bus I'd be interested.
As long as there is no click/clunk/crunch noise or freeplay in the
steering wheel when turned back and forth with the van stationary I'll
buy your old part.

The imported Haynes manual says this part is non repairable but can be
lubricated.  Has anyone ever tried to disassemble or repair one of
these?  Bentley doesn't even cover the part except as part of a steering
system components drawing.

Well as usual I welcome everyone's suggestions and tips.  This makes my
earlier search for a good VW junkyard even more relevant.

Thanks,
Mark
