Hello All, I just finished my steering restoration and when I turn the steering wheel lock to lock I get 1 2/3 revolutions to the left and 1 1/4 revolutions to the right. What did I do wrong?? Richar

Sounds to me like you positioned the steering arm in the wrong position on the outgoing axle. Magnus Karlsson Sweden 23 dec 2005 kl. 21.50 skrev Richard Bittmann:

Hi Magnus, Thanks for your reply. As I recall, the steering and Idler arms are adjustable by 1/4 revolutions due to wider splines at those locations. Do you think I'm off by that far? Wouldn't 1/4 tu

I think my answer may have been a little too quick. Seeing the replies I realize that I was not really concentrated. Mark asked, - what is an outgoing axle? Well that is Swenglish (a mix between Swe

Thanks Magnus, I checked the kingpin stops and the wheel is fully locked at each side. As I mentioned, I haven't finally set the cross rod length for camber so this may make some small difference. Ri

Hey Richard, I guess I thought the idler and the control box arms had a large spline every quarter turn to make sure that the arms weren't put on wrong. I have mine put together right now and can't c

Mark, My steering shaft was still good so I put it back in. Fortunately for me it would only fit the steering arm easily in one location so that's how I installed it. A no brainer. I destroyed the or

On my BT7, there is about 6 inches of play in the steering wheel before the front wheels begin to move. In reading the manual, it appears there are 2 possible adjustments to the steering gear: one ha

Hi Larry, Endplay and backlash really amount to the same thing in different applications. The idea is that most mechanisms require "operating clearance". This clearance can actually be as little as 0
