Yes, the EMD1447 is a direct replacement for FAM9402.
If you have experience with automotive steering systems and proper tools, you may install it, though professional installation is recommended given the safety-critical nature of steering components.
Signs include loose or 'sloppy' steering, audible clicking sounds when turning, or visible cracks/dry rot in the coupling's rubber sections.
No, this product includes the coupling unit itself. You should inspect your original hardware and replace it if it shows signs of rust or wear.
Verify that all mounting bolts are torqued to factory specifications and check the steering rack for movement.
Ensure the steering rack and column are centered and not under tension before attempting to bolt the coupling in place.
Before installation, ensure the vehicle is safely supported on jack stands and the front wheels are pointing straight ahead. It is highly recommended to consult the official Austin Metro workshop manual for your specific model year, as accessing the steering coupling often requires removing internal trim or loosening steering column mounts.
