I just picked up a 52 Ford Victoria today and the steering is really sloppy. The steering box is different than a shoebox in that it doesn’t have the screwdriver tang adjustment feature. There are 2 bolts on top instead. See pics. I also included a pic of the Vega box in my roadster to help explain. How is the 52 box adjusted?
Join the 1952-59 Ford Social Group on here if you haven't already and ask this question there. Those guys know these cars extremely well. When I had my '53 Customline that group of guys really helped me out.
