steering box rebuild

Bottoms out? Shimmies? Shackles, springs, shocks, steering linkage etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Suspension' category are here.

steering box rebuild

Post by pdub »

Can anyone help with info on rebuilding or a place that can rebuild my box. I have the adjustment screw all the way in but still have like 4" of play in the wheel. Thanks.

Regarding the adjustment screw at the top of the gearbox, it is totally different in it's function from what many of you might be used with some steering boxes from American cars. In many of them, the adjusting screw can move the sector shaft up or down. Not so in this box. Please refer to the following thread:
