Ron, you will have to remove the play from the steering first. You must

disconnect the drag link to do this, to enable you to feel the movement

between the roller tooth and the worm. First of all check the adjustment

of the main shaft roller bearings. this is the screw on top of the stering

box. then check for side-play in the cross shaft. The adjustment for this

is the lock nut and screw on the inner side of the box. Then check for

minimal play of the drop arm in the straight-ahead position. this adjustment

is the large eccfentric on the outside of the box, and the three lock nuts

holding the housing. These adjustments are covered in the owners manual.

You must do them in this sequence, and you must check for no binding through

the entire range after each adjustment. Having eliminated the looseness

in the steering box you now have to check the drag link, and tie-rod ends,

which are all adjustable. If you still have wandering problems, check that

the tyres are not over-inflated (35 lbs). then try inserting a thin wedge

under the back of the springs where they sit on the axle, to tilt the axle

back slightly. Bear in mind that you will always have a slight amount of

"tramming" when you strike longitudinal joins in the road surface. Good

luck.

Geoff.
