I have just finished a complete steering system/front suspension rebuild including a new steering box worm gear courtesy of Macy's, new rocker shaft and bearing/seal, all new bushings, two new uprights, tr4 upper wishbones, lower outer trunions and upper ball joints, all new inner and outer links, teflon/stainless silent joints.
I have set the initial tie rod lengths to 7 11/16" (which is close to the book value of 7.68).
I am now trying to set my lock stops. I can't measure them per the manual, so I have them set up close to maximum thickness, but I get what appears to be symmetrical steering wheel movement from center.
My problem is the total lock to lock rotation of the steering wheel. I get something shy of 1 3/4 steering wheel rotation full lock to lock while the manual says I should get 2 1/2 from lock to lock.
What am I missing?
