Re: Steering Adjustment

This is interesting information on steering wheel adjustment. On my '54/300 I don't have the exact problem of alignment, but rather a problem of "lost motion" as discussed in the service manual. Also, when hand-turning the steering wheel left & right in this "lost motion" zone there is a "bump" sound in the steering wheel. A sound as though a tooth might be broken in the steering box. On the road, the car steers okay, but changes from one side to the other of the "lost motion" zone. The service manual is very clear on what to do first for this problem, before going into the steering box. Any takers??
