Hey all,
I am wondering if there is a way to reduces the "slop" in my steering?
Basically I am trying to reduce the amount of wiggle or movment in the steering wheel before it actually makes the wheels turn
Any ideas?

 

Was it always loose or is this new?
What tires (size including wheel) are you running?
Mileage?
Offroading?

 

Sorry I guess I should have also mentioned
38s
new pitman / idler arms
new hubs
new joints
new tie rod ends
(all moog except for the hubs timken)

any suggestions?
there isnt alot of play, but enough to make me see it.... and if i remember correctly this was something that occurred some before all the new parts too

 

I tightened mine up a bit by just opening the hood, and tightening the steering box. It's literally 1 bolt. Hex key I'm pretty sure..

 

Offroad,
Do you have a picture of where it is you tightened?
Thanks

 

I'll try to take a picture once I'm outta bed. It's been a year since I did it and I'm a wee bit stoned, but if I remember correctly, you pop the hood, then just follow the steering rack down to where it bolts to the frame and you should see a small black box with a single bolt. Don't tighten it too much either

 

Any updates?
