Roger: There are two types of Nose wheel steering on the Coupes. The
original rod is only adjustable on the end under the control mast. It is a tough
one to adjust, because it requires removing the floor board/s, carefully lining
up the nose wheel with the tail, then removing the bolt that holds the steering
rod to the bottom of the control mast and shortening/lengthening the control rod
to align the nose wheel and putting it all back together. This process is
even more difficult than it sounds because in order to remove the bolt one has
to turn the control wheel to its full left or right (I do not remember which
way) in order to get room to remove the bolt. So you move all the controls ( I
end up doing it several times) in order to gain access to the nose steering rod
end.
The other type is the late Forney/Alon/Mooney style
that has a larger rod and is adjustable at the nose gear end like Walt
mentioned. There was an old Service Memorandum which recommended that all the
steering rods be changed to the new type, but there are many Coupes out there
that never had the change made.
