Steering Sector Back Lash Adjustment

Wietse · May 19, 2019

Could be a very old box which has seen a lot of use already, normally once the wheel is out of center the rack clearance gets tighter.
This should feel as a rough rotation, like turning a shaft in a bearing that **** itself.
If it still operates smooth you should be good.

I did about 4 quarter turn adjustments and its a lot better. I will leave it like this until I get the front end rebuilt. Then I can see what fine tuning is needed.

Question: Are there any symptoms from an over tightened sector backlash adjustment?

it sounds like you did right a 1/4 turn at a time. if you have gone 1 full turn you should be good. flush your power ster fluid and then watch for mettle in fluid witch indicate a ware problem. also put in a friction modifier to help the life of all parts from pump to box.

Thanks I will. I am running Red Line Synthetic. Its fresh. Can you recommend a compatible friction modifier?
