tilackHello guys
Can you help me make the steering gear more precise or direct.
The center position is too much leeway.
There is another steering mechanism that works better, or you can adjust it mechanically better. Thank you for feedback
robinSeveral items to check in this thread.
Lower ball joint
Tires what do you have on your car?
Wonder bar.
Frame brace.?

You can type in steering into the search feature and find a lot of info.

WeezyI'd be curious as well. Mine has 8500 miles on it and has been perfect right up until a few months ago. Just started feeling play in it one day. It's not a lot, just enough to be irritating and to wonder what happened

mslc10If all other things check out then Loosen and then re tighten the bolt on the steering yoke as it comes thru the firewall to engine compartment!

Short story..had dealer replace the steering shaft as its joint had slop in it. Got car back and drove it home and it was sloppier than when I took it in!
Remember from my jeep days that yoke is different metal than shaft so they expand at different temps.

Don't believe me ? Mark the position of the bolt/nut , then loosen 2-3 turns , then tighten it back up. As long as you count the turns properly, you will surpass your original Mark. And take up slack in the yoke-to-shaft.

Of course you could have the small u- joint in the shaft going bad also.....
