Hey Guys,
Sorry or the questions, just got back from a trip trying to address some issues while they are fresh on my mind.
Trying to track down the play in my steering wheel.
First question is what is the best I can get? Having only driven my coach and a couple others that were in rough shape I don't know what I'm aiming for.
Can it be tight like a modern car or am I always going to have some play?
Going through the guide from Rob the only major movement I find is in the top of the steering box. With the motor off how much should I be able to move the steering shaft by turning it by hand?
I can spin it back and forth enough to move the steering wheel 5 degrees or so (estimate) without moving the wheel. I assume this is the source of my play but am unsure what's normal here.
Currently when running down the road with my thumb on the bottom center of the wheel I can probably move it 1/2"-1" in each direction. Just enough that It's annoying.
