Thread-topic: [Healeys] Adjusting tension steering box
David, John,
Many thanks. The car is still with the wheels off the ground. The car is under
restoration and I have just installed the steering and links. This little drag
you mention, to my opinion it's a little too much on my car. I hesitate to
loosen the adjuster screw again as all is painted and when doing it it breaks
off the paintwork. What can happen when the drag is a little more than
necessary. Does it destroy the peg or both worm and peg?
Thanks,
Josef Eckert

You need to adjust the steering with the wheels off the ground. Jack the car
up and support on the lower control arms so there is no stress on the tie
rods. Then loosen the adjuster nut on the steering box. Then have an assistant
move the steering wheel back and forth to find the tight spot. Now either
tighten or loosen the adjuster screw until there is just a little drag in the
center position and lock the jam nut down.
