steering wheel play

(1/1)

eugene:
have lots of play in steering t.rods ok put new gas steering damper on or is it the steering box and can
they be adjusted

Range Rover Blues:
There is a steering box adjuster with a lock nut on the top face of the steering box, adjust a little at a time and make sure there are no tight spots.

Originally if a steering box needed adjustment the manual said it should be removed under warranty and returned to Adwest.  Adjusting them is not something you should do lightly, make doubly sure that nothing else is loose first, including the steering shaft UJs.

Budgie:
Also, do any steering box adjustments with the wheels in the dead ahead position.  ;)
It sounds obvious but you get more movement in the steering wheel when you're hard over to one side but adjusting the box in this position will make it far too tight in the dead ahead position.
