I Found A MAJOR Issue | 4x2 John Deere Gator Project - Part 1

Tearing into the 4x2 John Deere Gator to upgrade the suspension, inspect worn steering components, and troubleshoot the front end. What started as a simple shock replacement leads to a deeper dive into bushing wear, spindle inspection, and the discovery of a damaged steering rack and pinion assembly. This Trail Gator is a used buy and I am learning very quickly they did not take care of this very well. Follow along on IFF Gears & Grind as we tackle hands-on shop repairs and navigate the unexpected hurdles of bringing this classic utility vehicle back to life. 00:00 - Introduction & Project Overview 05:20 - Inspecting the Steering & Worn Bushings 08:20 - Installing New Coilovers & Shocks 13:20 - Checking Yolk Play & Spindle Bearings 16:30 - Removing the Steering Rack & Pinion Assembly 19:30 - Final Thoughts & What's Next Support the Channel & Connect with Us!
