The ‘67 manual steering box is identical. This was very informative! A few days ago I learned how to adjust the play in my steering box and now I know how to grease it! Btw, use that slotted pin and nut to adjust out the slop or play then grease it. Since I adjusted the play out of it the car feels and drives so much better. Can’t wait to grease it!
yep. They take quite a bit ( lot ) of moly grease to fill - then 1/4 turn adjustment screw in stages to reduce steering wheel free play - then drives like a new car.
NO wrong unless box failure, is set screw from factory set worm nut. NOT adjustment just fill box grease and drive for a week or so.if not smooth rotation if worm nut is damaged rebuild box.
What we did fixed Doug’s issue and it’s been good since we did that vid. It’s been a while so I forget what we did apparently wrong, but it worked fine for us so I’m leaving the vid up along with your comment attached. We appreciate the feedback!
@@ClarksPlace Please dont take your fix as negligence but as a warning. These box's are over 50 years old. A quarter turn is maximum increase screw down pressure of worm nut has ball bearings contact to sector shaft and will enlarge groves and ball bearing can jam steering box Not Fun at speed or in a corner should have a pull down inspection. Iam old Ford Australia seen this happen more so old F100 and our Falcon Utes. My first love New 1972 XY UTE, vermillion fire , sport interior, 351 Cleveland, 4 speed top loader, 9 inch she was KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid engineering.

Doug's Mustang needed the same thing, he was very happy with the steering after we played around with it.
BTW, I do thank you for the detailed comment and the information, thanks for watchin!

For sure, I know Doug really noticed a difference after.
I also slightly tightened the adjustment screw, BIG difference.
Good deal! Thanks for the comment, that might help someone too!

@@lional6291 Hey, I appreciate it! I will caution Doug on all you've said, he'll appreciate it too!👍👍
@@lional6291Ford Cleveland power 💪
I think I fell asleep in the middle of this....did he ever actually adjust the steering or just imagine the grease did it?
We’ll attempt to be more entertaining next time, but yeah the vid was done a long time ago and I believe what we did solved his issues
Steering boxes take gear oil not grease
Thanks, I get Mords Wixed up sometimes
