Is there a recommended or best practice advice for the sequence of using the 3 adjustment devices on a right hand drive 34 steering box?
My box was rebuilt with all new internal pats and worked perfectly for 200 miles.
Now has 10 minutes free travel at steering wheel rim in straight ahead position, with no free play at rim in left or right positions.
Or is this a limitation in the design?

It means that it is not centered properly, it's the same adjustment as on model A, the eccentric screw adjustment is off, search on model A side for adjusting posts
