[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 346108, member: 3278"] The bar that protrudes from the steering tube on the front of the engine? It is a long bar that slides in and out of a tube as you turn the wheel. On the end is a flat with a hole in it. If this is what you are talking about then you are correct. That is part of the steering cable. The drag link I spoke of attaches to this (at that flat with the hole in it) and then to a plate dead center on the engine above the steering tube that the cable slides in and out of. About the only way this could bend is to have a mechanical obstruction somewhere along its path of travel that it has to be forced past. Get a photo up of what you are talking about. Point a finger at the exact part you are talking about so we can make sure. [/QUOTE]
