Re: thrust play on steering shaft

-
To adjust the mast jacket lower bearing loosen the clamp on the steering shaft next to the spring and slide the clamp up until you have 3/4" to 7/8" between the large washer and the bottom of the lower bearing in the column tube. Have someone hold down on the steering wheel while you do this.

Post up if this cures it or not so others will know if they have the same problem.
