G14 steering
Does anyone know of a way to tighten steering on a g14. Mine has gotten to the point you have to turn wheel one half to one third to get tires to turn? Thanks in advance

Re: G14 steering
You need to be more specific.
Have someone slowly turn the steering wheel while you inspect the front end parts from the gearbox to the tie rods. The pitman arm extends off the steering box shaft, see how it moves in relation to the steering wheel. If you are turning the wheel and the output shaft is not moving there is an internal box issue. Still inspect your tie rods using the same steering wheel action then jack it up and check the wheel bearings for play. Once you have evaluated the steering systems failures post your findings.

Re: G14 steering
Smallblock's method for fixing this is; Take the top plate off the gear box and pack it as full as you can get it with wheel bearing grease. (This is the trick here) Then put it back together, jack the front end of the car off the ground and loosen the lock nut on the jamb screw. Its located on the top plate. Screw in the jamb screw lightly till it bottoms out, then back it out a quarter turn or so. Then turn the steering wheel lock to lock slowly to feel for binding of the steering wheel. Back off or tighten the jamb screw till you don't feel the steering wheel binding. Tighten the jamb nut on the jamb screw.
