Hi
I'm writing for my dad, so we would like to say hi.
We have a question about our 63 p5 3L. We just got it 8 months ago so we don't know too much about it. We were fortunate to get it good running condition. The power steering is tempermental, but we have read that it's to be expected.
We noticed that the two belts are are in pretty bad shape and we would like to change them. We are located in Toronto, Canada, so we were going to take them both out and take them to a parts store and see if they can match them up with an existing belt. Does anyone have any other ideas? Also, is there any particular way we should go about taking the belts off? Anything we should know?
Secondly, when we put the car up the other day, we noticed that one of the washers (not sure if that's what they are called, see the description below) is coming off of the steering system. I'm not a mechanic, so let me try to explain it. It's got a big lug nut that you can tighten and it seems to be the part where the wheel connects to the steering column. Between the two links there is a large washer that is all frayed and is pretty much falling off. We can take a picture and submit it if that will help better. In either case, we need them for both sides and if anyone has any ideas about where we could get them that would be nice.
Well that's it for now. Thanks for reading and your help.
