"Heavy" steering after steering box replacement
Hey guys, just replaced my steeing box with a refurbished unit and the steering is heavy, very smooth and all, but it just takes a bit of effort to turn the wheel. Not sure if I have a bad box or if this is the way it is supposed to feel? Also, I have a bit of play in the steering wheel, hence the new gearbox......I could watch the intermediate steering shaft where it goes in to the steering box moving, but the pitman arm wasnt moving at all hence the new box. However now the wheel still has play in it with the new steering box so I think it may be the steering shaft. Any thoughts? not sure what else it could be. I have adjusted the nut on top of the steering box and it doesnt help any. Thanks........

correct the adjustment scew takes out the play in the steering box. The the box is probably stiffer because it's not worn out.
