I took the play out of an old pickup and then couldn’t get full lock on the steering. I now set the lash on a high mileage box with the wheel fully turned.
It’ll take you less time (maybe not) to fix that fence board than to adjust the steering wheel…😂. You’ve done such an amazing job bringing this car back to life…perhaps a new steering wheel is in the “to do” list?
Hi - what about if steering pulls to the left even though tie rods, knuckles and wheels are aligned? do you reckon it may have something to do with the steering box?
@@GarageTimeTV - hi mate, yes confirming that a pro shop performed wheel alignment using laser, so in summary, steering still pulls left even tho have replaced many parts and font aligned, any ideas?
HI I'm restoring a 1980 spider. Having sloppy steering issue. Have adjusted steering box, checked idler oil box. No improvement. How can I trouble shoot from there?
That fence board is driving me crazy
Ya my bad! Lol. I’ve been needing to replace those darn things. They are not fans of the humidity as you can tell 😂
I just did mine and it is night and day....no more floaty steering. Thanks Bro!!!
Awesome! So glad that helped you!
Thanks for the video- great to see the steering box tightening process! Keep the videos coming!
I’ll do my best!
Very helpful, practical tip.
Thanks for the tip!
Easy and great difference

Don’t hate on my fence post! He was feeling “down” that day 😂 I think a wheel upgrade would be nice!
Where did you get the cool air setup with black polyurethane sections? All I've found are red.
The cold air intake? I got mine from Vick Auto Sports. Idk if they have many left in stock though. I LOVE it

Did you have a professional shop align it for you?

@@rockycaputo7482 I would go to a second shop for another opinion. Something isn’t right.

Check your linkage joints from the steering wheel down. There could be a loose bolt or the joint could be worn out.
Do u know any place that I could get air suspension for my 1982 fiat 124 spider
I don’t unfortunately
Who knew?!
Doesn't work with a vast majority of steering boxes as worm and rollers are worn .
That's not a fix! That adjustment is for factory lash, NOT to repair wear.
