Re: Sloppy steering

You can adjust the sector and rack gear clearance with the bolt and jam nut on the top of the box. The sector gear is connected to a cover with 4 bolts on the top of the box. The 5th bolt in the center is conected to the sector gear. You can adjust the sector gear down to take up some excess clearance.

If the problem is bearing wear some place in the box it will need to be rebuilt to fix it.
