Is there supposed to be end play on the input shaft of the steering box? While centering the box, I found the input shaft moved up and down "quite a bit". (old technical term) It's kind of hard to get my head down there to measure but I would guess 1/8" to 3/16". There is no side to side movement. I didn't find any specs or mention of this in the manual or Wirth's steering box PDF. I'm sure there would be some end-play but how much and is there an adjustment for it short of tearing it apart?

Thanks, Jerry
