Steering gear chains
Has anyone ever heard of Edson pedestal steering gear chains breaking? I
ordered new steering cables from them a couple days ago and they talked me
into a new chain which they say should be replaced every 5 years. He made a
good case, crevice corrosion, etc., so I went along. I know Edson would
like to sell chain but I wonder how often the actually happens. My chain
appears to be original from 1980. It looks fine but I would have to clean
it up and dye test it to be sure. Quicker, and probably not much more
expensive, to just buy a new chain.
