RE: [DML] Steering wheel play

["mgutkowski@xxxx" <webmaster@xxxx>]

Ryan, the steering rack is adjustable for normal wear. I can't comment
directly because I haven't done it myself but James R G and Paul Salsbury
have both seen vast improvements by performing this 5 minute job.

Where the shaft enters the rack, there's a small plate held on with two
bolts. Beneath this are some interchangable shims that adjust how much the
pinion is pushed onto the rack. By removing a shim or two you will tighten
the meshing of the teeth.

I hope James and/or Paul also respond because I can't be more specific than
this. If you don't hear from either of them, please drop me a mail

Best Wishes

Subject: [DML] Steering wheel play


Hey everyone,

I just had my steering rack replaced. It was confirmed to be bad, as 
it was leaking, and there was a definite improvement in the 
handling, but there's still a lot of play in the wheel when you turn 
it left and right (it's not the column, but the wheel itself--my 
column bushing is relatively new).
