Possible problem could be that the chassis rail that the box is bolted to is moving with the extra load of the fat rubber. Look at the box while moving the steering wheel, if it moves sideways, you would be best to brace the box to the side of the strut tower.
Its unlikely to be worn out beyond adjustment. But, if turning the screw down on top of the box, or taking shims out from under the box cover doesn't fix any slack, get a good (lower K's) steering box from a 120Y, these fit later (70-72) 1600's. ----- Original Message ----- From: "maldat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, 10 December 2001 18:49 PM Subject: Re: Steering boxes > they are ajustable so try that first. > > Malcolm > > Mark Firman wrote: > > > Hi all, my 1600 steering box has recently been getting worse and worse, probably something to do with having 195 front tyres, i was wondering if anyone on the list knows where i could buy a reconditioned 1600 box, or if anyone had one they wanted to sell??? I am in Melbourne by the way.
