Re: Steeing Play - How Much?

Well for ~10 inches of steering wheel movement there are zero pounds of anything, I can turn it with a straw. Then it engages in the gear box and I get resistance and with some muscle the wheels begin to move. This is while sitting in the garage.

I haven't looked at this at all with the wheels off the ground. I'll put it up on stands on the frame and find where anything has play. As it stands now the only looseness is in the gear box. It might just be the weight of the truck making everything else feel solid. But there's definitely free travel in the gear box. Don't know how much, if any, is normal.

Thanks!!
