- 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

- i believe you will find your box is a candidate for a rebuild with a new cam, bushing, etc. 6" is too much for adjustment. this sounds like my box before i finally rebuilt it prior to a '99 trip to s

- A couple of people have mentioned rebuilding the steering box to eliminate the play in the steering, I would also add that there can be considerable slop in the cross rod and tie rod ends if they hav
