Hey guys need abit of help figuring out my steering box on my ke26, it was steering alright originally but i removed all the steering arms, pitman etc but left the steering box bolted up, my mate thought he'd be helpful and unbolt the top of the steering box where you adjust it, dropped all the oil and all the gears of the box fell out. ive put them back in just to see how far out the steering was and put the arms back up the way i took them off but now when the wheel is centred (stopper for steering arms is centered, it turns left heaps but barely turns right, can only get a 1/4 turn if that out of it before it hits the stops. what is the best way to get the steering centered? I'm not sure how the steering boxes are meant to be set out. anybody messed around with these things much?

cheers.

I pulled one out years ago, it had a recirculating ball race setup thingy.

 

In theory, you should:

 

centre your wheels

 

Centre your steering wheel

 

Find middle of the sweep arc for the pitman arm and hold it there and then reassemble the bits around it.

 

Forgive me though, it's been ten years since I looked inside one and I'm loathe to touch my own right now although it needs a looking at.
