Re: sloppy steering
Welcome to BGW
On the bottom of the steering box is a locknut with an adjusting shaft. Raise front tires loosen lock nut, using large flat blade screw turn shaft in lightly while turning steering wheel. Caution if you feel binding or grinding you went to tight, make sure the steering wheel turns lock to lock freely. The "wobble is most likely from all the worn joints in the steering linkage. Check all joints for loose connections even the the link above the steering box. Also check bushings in A arms. Barry |

Re: sloppy steering
O.K that helped but I can still move steering wheel about 2'' before front wheels move. I see a square head screw on right of box is that for adjustment.?
