Thank you Mr. DIYer. You explainable couldn't have been any better. You did everything slowly and explained everything in simple terms. My wife adjusted her steering this weekend. As I got home, I seen her under the hood. Wondering WTH she was possibly doing I looked. She said she adjusted her steering because it didn't move the wheels as fast as she felt comfortable with. I had to see what she did because shes never done anything other than add fluids or aired up tires. She watches me work on the 78 Silverado sometimes and asks questions because shes interested in it and likes me all dirty n smelling like car she says😏 But getting back to the story, I asked where she learned this and she showed me yer video. Great work Amigo. Keep up the good work and new videos. I'm definitely gonna follow yer lessons. Or at least she will if I'm not around to answer questions. Cheers!
Thank you so much. Comments such as yours is what leads me to aspire to make videos that as much as possible is as simple yet as compressive and direct to the point to the given topic. Im really glad that there are people out there that finds my videos helpful. And a woman at that. Sounds like you and your wife have a very nice relationship. Not a lot of couples share the same interest especially when it comes to mechanical stuffs which is generally viewed as a "guy thing". Lucky you, Kudos to both of you.
I knew how to do it on my Landy but was never sure how the steering box adjustment worked. Thank you for letting me go to bed a little less uneducated tonight than yesterday. Well explained. Kind regards. Andreas
Thank you for a very informative video. I watched other videos and they did not. mention unlocking your steering wheel ! Seems like an important point to me. Also moving the Adjustment incrementally seemed also important. Thanks again
Thank you that was really helpful. But what else it can cause the play? And that was the best explanation I found really good teacher. Keep up the good work and keep posting videos!
Note that if it is too tight, it will not return to center after a turn but will keep turning. This can cause a crash if you expected it to return on its own.
It will feel great when you tighten too much in the driveway but will feel wonky (and scary) when you start driving. The car reacts differently than what you expect after turning the wheel.
Very good explanation. Even works on chevy's it's looks similar and the technique is the same.i suggest to lift the front wheels while the adjustment.thank you! Best regards from Austria
Good video but reason for play some internals may be worn. Proper adjustment is done off vehicle, there are 2 adjustments, both done in different locations on gear, both done with torque wrench, bearing pre-load is one and the adjustment in this video, which is over center adjustment, keeps gear tighter when tires are pointed down road to prevent wandering. These gears usually last a long time, when they get sloppy I would pull gear, tear it down, inspect for wear/ damage and install new seals and adjust on bench to proper pre-loads.
I once got a steering box from salvage yard and put it in my car and when I started engine the wheel would automatically turn to the right . I drove it for awhile and when I needed to make right hand turn I just let go of steering wheel lol . I finally took the box apart and the little piston had a burr on it so I sanded it down and it worked fine afterwards .
Do you need an alignment after this? My truck now pulls to the right a lot more than it did. The adjustment did fix about 80% of the looseness in the steering wheel at center from left to right.
How does moving the sector shaft down tighten up the rack and pinion? are the teeth tapered? is the rack rotated upwards slightly? If the teeth are all straight and parallel then movingthe pinion up and down shouldn't do anything.
do check out my homemade water cooled compressor made from a junk air brake pump and tell me what you think ua-cam.com/video/tNmAcYsSxIw/v-deo.html

Thank you that was really helpful. But what else it can cause the play? And that was the best explanation I found really good teacher. Keep up the good work and keep posting videos!
Other factors in steering play could be a worn rag joint or worn tie rods

Thank you for a very informative video. Nice work bro,
Note that if it is too tight, it will not return to center after a turn but will keep turning. This can cause a crash if you expected it to return on its own.
What do you mean if what is to tight?
@@trevorashton4598 the steering does not back to origin after corner
What the solution mr stanley?
@@galunang7818 Don't over tighten it, you must have some backlash.
It will feel great when you tighten too much in the driveway but will feel wonky (and scary) when you start driving. The car reacts differently than what you expect after turning the wheel.

Wow more you live more you learn I like this video
I think you should check the bearing preload first on the input shaft before .
Good video but reason for play some internals may be worn. Proper adjustment is done off vehicle, there are 2 adjustments, both done in different locations on gear, both done with torque wrench, bearing pre-load is one and the adjustment in this video, which is over center adjustment, keeps gear tighter when tires are pointed down road to prevent wandering. These gears usually last a long time, when they get sloppy I would pull gear, tear it down, inspect for wear/ damage and install new seals and adjust on bench to proper pre-loads.
Great video and the drawing to show the mechanics was super helpful. Good job!
Dude thanks so much!!

Thanks for not being afraid to loosen the screw to show the difference
The guys in the other videos were to scared 😂😂😂
Hello sir, left and right pitman arm are the same? thanks for your help. its a great video content
Great Video!!
🙂💥 Great Video! 👌🏾📚📖
Clear explanation sir
Thank you for the tips sir
This man EARNED the sub guys, pay up
Do you need an alignment after this? My truck now pulls to the right a lot more than it did. The adjustment did fix about 80% of the looseness in the steering wheel at center from left to right.
Good overall, except that it is not unidirectional. The gear has a taper and tightens only in one direction.
How does moving the sector shaft down tighten up the rack and pinion? are the teeth tapered? is the rack rotated upwards slightly?
If the teeth are all straight and parallel then movingthe pinion up and down shouldn't do anything.
