Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / September 2004Re: '73 Dodge van steering wheel play?
From Nomen Nescio: Those old steering gears had adjustments to take the play out. Sometimes wear makes it impossible to adjust: If the center is worn, then taking up the slack sometimes causes binding off center. The best bet is to take it to an old mechanic who knows front end work and ask him to do his best and you will no doubt correct this condition. Good luck to you. At the end of the steering shaft there is a box (coupler) that connects it to the gear. The play comes from that. The small parts in the coupler have worn and allow the play to occur. This is cheaply fixed. The parts will set you back a whole $10.00. If you do have a rag joint (not impossible, but unlikely) that will have to be replaced. there is no adjustment for that. Good luck |
