Question

How do I adjust the looseness out of my power steering? I have a 69 Satellite, 318, PS.

I had the front end checked out, they said it was in good shape except for the ball joints which will be replaced soon.

The box has a lot of play in it. I see a threaded bolt and a nut in the steering box. It looks like an adjuster. Can I adjust out some of the play in the box with this?

I just bought the car, I love it! Using it a daily driver.

thanks!

sat69. yeah you can adjust that box. Loosen up the jam nut, turn the screw in until the play is gone, then retighten the nut.

Another thing if I remeber correctly is that the front wheels have to be off the ground when checking the free play. I read it in the service manual for my 77 Newport. Have the car up in the air and check the freeplay as you tighten the adjuster.
