CC DS- a lot of play in steering

DJGCWB · 05-21-2015, 01:37 PM

I am bringing to life a 1983 CC DS and there is a ton of play in the steering wheel. I can turn the wheel a quarter of a revolution before the wheels actually turn. Any pointers on how to tighten that up or what part I need to see about replacing?

Awesome thanks! I'm gonna have to bust out the rubber gloves and degreaser for this one!

The 1983 DS gearbox is not longer made there is a upgrade kit available from Club Car dealers. It is a rack and pinion system and greatly improves steering. Last time I bought one is was around $200.00 about 2 hours to install.
