Hi Guys,
The thing I hate about my mopar is the power steering, it just SUCKS! I have had the gear rebuilt, heavier reaction springs fitted, bearings machined into the sector shaft, new ball joints, the coupler is good, I have adjusted the sector shaft adjuster nut with the engine running yet the thing still has 1.5 to 2" of free play at the wheel in the center position, I read these articles and it says there should be none! I would like a Firm Feel Gear but they are like $1200-$1500NZD Gear+Core+Shipping to NZ it all adds up. Am I expecting to much from my steering gear, can you really get next to zero free play or at least down to a 1/8inch or 1/4"?
