Default Re: Steering box

Resist the temptation to tighten the screw adjustment on the top of the box. A movement of only 1/32" can affect the ability of the sector to return to the center. If you have a steering problem, before you blame the box, be sure the box is securely tight to the frame, the pitman arm is secure, and the tie rod joints and king pins are not loose. Check the oil in the box. The nearby exhaust manifold can cook the oil into a rock-like substance. That is the only place I use 600W oil to resist heat and leakage.
