Hey all, I have a question about the steering box on my 57 wagon gasser. It is a manual box and there is a lot of play. We tried adjusting but no affect. I seems to be the original steering box on the car. Is there a rebuild kit for this type steering box or do I need to purchase a new/used one? Any help would be appreciated!
This is the place.http://cgfordparts.com/wwwsectionfiles/cg_cat2_steering_steering_box_parts.html They are awesome. They answer the phone and speak to you. Did my 1957 Ranchero years ago. Pretty strait forward
Everything is tight but there is about 4 inches of play in the steering wheel. The steering wheel is also on tight!
How's the drag link look (if you have one)? I just adjusted mine the other day on my '59 and it made a difference. 4" of play is pretty ghastly. I'm going to check the specs on the adjustment of the drag link again, I just went until I had no movement at the ball stud at the centerlink, I still may need another 1/2 turn.
