Described is the replacement of all components of the trapeze with new ones

possible substitutes:

SP2390 company 555 Steering knuckle. Right-hand drive. Identical to X60 body.

555 SI-2390 Swinging lever on the left side. Right-hand drive.

The replacement went without major difficulties, only had to miraculously convert a new swinging lever from a left-hand 'Cressida' into the correct one (they are mirror images in attachment).

Removed the old trapeze as a whole, assembled the new one on the ground before installation:

The old knuckle with the reducer surprisingly came off easily after heating with a hair dryer (with the use of a puller). It turned out that it was mounted on the splined cone of the shaft only 3-4 mm instead of almost 2 cm! Such a surprise left by the previous owner – he had installed an extremely similar knuckle visually, but with an inner diameter 1-2 mm smaller. Quite dangerous DIY job if you think about it.

Standard caps were fitted to the steering stops.

The reducer itself was then adjusted.

Now it's all neat and play-free underneath 🙂
