Steering Box repair!

[Jorn J.]

Hi
I have repaired my steering box with a steering column Kit from Paragon $440,- so all the "Steering Items" are new.I have used the ST-12 with no problems.But I still have a loose steering in the "outer" positions to the right and left which I can't get away?Some wise people here in Denmark says that it's normal when you have a "Wormshaft" steering
If I try to tight the adj.screw then it will go tight when I go straight ahead.I can see that the "worm" are not so "high" in the beginning and end on the shaft so maybe it have to be a little loose!
The adj.screw are been correct shims so all are correct mounted!!
Please tell me "is it okay" with that play to the right and left"
Its a C1,1959.

Regards Jorn Jarnved

Yes it is normal. With the adjustment made correctly in the centered position there will be some play at the extremes.

Good luck

My 61 is the same way. With the steering properly adjusted at high center there will be a little play at the left and right positions.
