steering box

[fordhealey]

i have a small amount of play in my steering
(61BT7).not a major problem. what is the most likely source.i don't see an adjustment bolt
in the blow up picture in the my service parts
list.thought the peg that goes on the steering
shaft might be worn??

Steering box adjust.

Two adjustments.

Top of box, screw adjust for peg to worm play.

Shims under box end plate to set wormshaft end play.

The first thing I check when I have loose stering is the level of oil in the steering box. Once I top it back up, the steering always seems tighter. On day I will have to fix that leaking steering box!
