Play in Steering Gear
#16

(05-21-2018, 12:07 PM)House Divided Wrote:  Paul - too old and too weak were my thoughts exactly. My steering box seemed fine so I left it. I tightened everything i could reach and rebuilt my steering column, including the lower bearing Richard described.

I didnt find anything major, but a little snug here, a tweak there to correct 20 years of use yielded nice gains for me. Hopefully yours will be the same.

Bought #500 with 47,000 miles on the clock, so I think wear is unlikely.  More apt to be under torqued at installation.  Previous owner took her to the mother ship in Miami with this complaint, but they couldn't find anything wrong.  Don't know how deep they delved.  I'll try tightening everything up from the lowest I can reach to the steering wheel.  Those construction zones scare me witless.  I have enough problem on straight and flat with a rig that is almost one full lane wide.
