Sloppy steering

Diffs, axles, lockers, transmissions, portals, that kind of thing.

Sloppy steering

Post by audiocontr »

I've noticed a substantial amount of center freeplay in my steering. Do i simply tighten the adjustment on the front of the steering box? Where do i look for the most common cases of worn parts?

I would try adjusting the steering first jack up the ft end with wheels off the ground :? adj the gear box so you get a little drag in the center swing from lt to rt :) just fell a little drag :) it will be loose on both ends. If you still have play you need to rebuild the gear box. :D

Drove my new Pinzgauer for the first time today and steering also sloppy. Is the steering box easy to adjust? Could anyone post a picture of what bits to turn?

You will need a 17mm box wrench and a short L shaped flat head screw driver. The adjustment assembly/screw is located on the very front of the worm gear housing down by the foot pedals. It's a three minute fix.

Thanks - just looked in the manual and it certainly looks easy. On a Land Rover this would take hours!*






* because it would all be siezed and you'd need to drop everything out to drill it
