From my previous thread after changing all control arm bushes ball joints etc I have had the Camber ,Castor and toe in set, the car steers a lot better now I am running radials. I have also set the steering box ( it’s a power steering car ) after setting the steering box I still have an amount of play the steering wheel will free turn app 2 12ths of a turn say 12 o’clock to 2 o’clock can anyone let me know if this play is ok or excessive and if it is excessive what the fix is
Thanks Phil any help much appreciated.

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		It’s very likely the rubber insulator between the steering gear and the steering shaft that has crumbled and cut by the steering shaft. Very common issue….

Location: North Germany		Hi Phil,
I bought my New Yorker with - allegedly - a defective steering gear. Sven / Wizard then told me that only the rubber was defective. In reality: the rubber was almost gone. I could have used a replica rubber, but I made one myself out of nylon. So I have no steering play at all and saved 1000$.

Check the part number before you buy, there are two different lengths of the insulator, a short and a long. The locator is at a different height.
