Thank you Mr. DIYer. You explainable couldn't have been any better. You did everything slowly and explained everything in simple terms. My wife adjusted her steering this weekend. As I got home, I seen her under the hood. Wondering WTH she was possibly doing I looked. She said she adjusted her steering because it didn't move the wheels as fast as she felt comfortable with. I had to see what she did because shes never done anything other than add fluids or aired up tires. She watches me work on the 78 Silverado sometimes and asks questions because shes interested in it and likes me all dirty n smelling like car she says😏 But getting back to the story, I asked where she learned this and she showed me yer video. Great work Amigo. Keep up the good work and new videos. I'm definitely gonna follow yer lessons. Or at least she will if I'm not around to answer questions. Cheers!
Thank you so much. Comments such as yours is what leads me to aspire to make videos that as much as possible is as simple yet as compressive and direct to the point to the given topic. Im really glad that there are people out there that finds my videos helpful. And a woman at that. Sounds like you and your wife have a very nice relationship. Not a lot of couples share the same interest especially when it comes to mechanical stuffs which is generally viewed as a "guy thing". Lucky you, Kudos to both of you.
I knew how to do it on my Landy but was never sure how the steering box adjustment worked. Thank you for letting me go to bed a little less uneducated tonight than yesterday. Well explained. Kind regards. Andreas
Note that if it is too tight, it will not return to center after a turn but will keep turning. This can cause a crash if you expected it to return on its own.
It will feel great when you tighten too much in the driveway but will feel wonky (and scary) when you start driving. The car reacts differently than what you expect after turning the wheel.
Thank you for a very informative video. I watched other videos and they did not. mention unlocking your steering wheel ! Seems like an important point to me. Also moving the Adjustment incrementally seemed also important. Thanks again
How does moving the sector shaft down tighten up the rack and pinion? are the teeth tapered? is the rack rotated upwards slightly? If the teeth are all straight and parallel then movingthe pinion up and down shouldn't do anything.
Thank you that was really helpful. But what else it can cause the play? And that was the best explanation I found really good teacher. Keep up the good work and keep posting videos!
This is very educational on the procedure. Just remember it has a lock nut because it can't be torqued down on it's own or it would be too tight. So your tightness here should be very minimal.
Good video but reason for play some internals may be worn. Proper adjustment is done off vehicle, there are 2 adjustments, both done in different locations on gear, both done with torque wrench, bearing pre-load is one and the adjustment in this video, which is over center adjustment, keeps gear tighter when tires are pointed down road to prevent wandering. These gears usually last a long time, when they get sloppy I would pull gear, tear it down, inspect for wear/ damage and install new seals and adjust on bench to proper pre-loads.
Very good explanation. Even works on chevy's it's looks similar and the technique is the same.i suggest to lift the front wheels while the adjustment.thank you! Best regards from Austria
Do you need an alignment after this? My truck now pulls to the right a lot more than it did. The adjustment did fix about 80% of the looseness in the steering wheel at center from left to right.
On my 90 toyota, while at idle and stationary, if I use my index finger to turn the wheel slightly it moves by itself left to right, back and forth rapidly a few inches. I'm confused
May i ask, what is the problem of the steering wheel where the gearbox has been fix due to oil leak.however, after re-installation, the steering wheel becomes hard to turn to either left & right & unfortunately the wheel play or turn becomes short..
Did this, felt great on the driveway and eliminated the play but as soon as I took it on a journey, it was far too tight and even though I’ve tried loosening it, nothing feels right. It also now pulls to the left regardless of how loose or tight it is. What is the solution please 😢
I once got a steering box from salvage yard and put it in my car and when I started engine the wheel would automatically turn to the right . I drove it for awhile and when I needed to make right hand turn I just let go of steering wheel lol . I finally took the box apart and the little piston had a burr on it so I sanded it down and it worked fine afterwards .
Tried today on an old Kubota tractor and ran into the same problem, the screw is tight. Do not want to put grips on the screw and ruin the threads so think I will try putting two nuts onto the screw and tighten them against each other so they are locked and try turning the screw using the nuts with a spanner instead of the screwdriver. How did you get on with yours?
You have to be careful when making this adjustment. It's recommended you disconnect the pitman arm so you aren't dragging the weight of the tires and entire system. You can do it this way in a pinch, but it's possible to damage the gears if you adjusted it to a low spot then shred the gear beyond the low spot during use. That's why there's a pressure rating range in the shop manual for how much tension there should be when pulling the wheel all the way in both directions with no other tension in the system. My car in particular called out 6-8 newtons of tension with the steering disconnected from the steering box.
please, i would to like who is the reference for this gearbox for Mitsubishi Montero 87/89. if you can, please, i need that information! I have a Mitsubishi Montero 87, and the gearbox is damaged!

I'm done watching, right now I'm going to adjust my gearbox. Thanks pards
ok?
Every day is a school day. Thank you for teaching me something I didn't know.
I knew how to do it on my Landy but was never sure how the steering box adjustment worked. Thank you for letting me go to bed a little less uneducated tonight than yesterday. Well explained. Kind regards. Andreas

Thanks boss for the video. Great illustration, great demonstration. Very much understandable
You took me just where I needed to go! 67 Ford van. Thanks & Happiness to you!
Note that if it is too tight, it will not return to center after a turn but will keep turning. This can cause a crash if you expected it to return on its own.
What do you mean if what is to tight?
@@trevorashton4598 the steering does not back to origin after corner
What the solution mr stanley?
@@galunang7818 Don't over tighten it, you must have some backlash.
It will feel great when you tighten too much in the driveway but will feel wonky (and scary) when you start driving. The car reacts differently than what you expect after turning the wheel.
Yoooooooo, this was fantastic thank you very much my friend. Folks like you are invaluable
Never to old to learn even when close to 80, thanks.
I need to tighten the steering on my 1989 Nissan (WD21) Pathfinder. Your instructions are brilliant! Thank you very much.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Thanks sir, just the tip I need for my steering problem. May God bless you
Great video! You did a good job of explaining the details so that they make sense. take care
Many thanks and appreciation for this wonderful explanation.
Fantastic video and a great explanation of how this works - thanks so much!!
Thanks. I just purchased a 1958 Cameo that had the gear box recently replaced, but the shop didn't adjust to remove the slop.
How does moving the sector shaft down tighten up the rack and pinion? are the teeth tapered? is the rack rotated upwards slightly?
If the teeth are all straight and parallel then movingthe pinion up and down shouldn't do anything.
Thank you that was really helpful. But what else it can cause the play? And that was the best explanation I found really good teacher. Keep up the good work and keep posting videos!
Other factors in steering play could be a worn rag joint or worn tie rods
Im grateful for the illustration. Good explanation. Thank you!
This is very educational on the procedure. Just remember it has a lock nut because it can't be torqued down on it's own or it would be too tight. So your tightness here should be very minimal.
You explained it well and you are a great illustrator.
This is super well done and very informative. Thanks sir.
Flawlessly explained.... thank you Sir!
You just saved my day brother, thank you!!
Well, saved me from buying a new box, which is what someone said I should do
Good video but reason for play some internals may be worn.

Great video and the drawing to show the mechanics was super helpful. Good job!
This is the BEST Explanation EVER.
The internet is a fantastic place with all the knowledge at your fingertips. I had no idea it was this easy to fix, thank you sir.
Problem fixed today in under 10 minutes :)
Well done
Great video man thank you for your knowledge
I think you should check the bearing preload first on the input shaft before .
Very good explanation. Even works on chevy's it's looks similar and the technique is the same.i suggest to lift the front wheels while the adjustment.thank you! Best regards from Austria

Best explanation of this I've seen. Great video

Perfectly explained, thank you for your help 👍
Sir! Excellent demonstration!
thank you...
Beautifully explained and clear. Thank you so much.
Excellent video! Going to try this on my 86 Toyota 😊
On my 90 toyota, while at idle and stationary, if I use my index finger to turn the wheel slightly it moves by itself left to right, back and forth rapidly a few inches. I'm confused
good job sir---you taught me how to fix my mitsubishi truck---thank you....

Great fix it can save alot of unnecessary money and work

Thank you, brilliant video, really helped me out
I loosened the locknut but can’t get the adjustment screw to budge. Do you have any thoughts on that. Jeep wrangler
Tried today on an old Kubota tractor and ran into the same problem, the screw is tight. Do not want to put grips on the screw and ruin the threads so think I will try putting two nuts onto the screw and tighten them against each other so they are locked and try turning the screw using the nuts with a spanner instead of the screwdriver. How did you get on with yours?
What causes it to come out of adjustment? Does the screw loosen slowly over time?
It's just wearing over time.
Changing the fluid is a good way to prevent too much wear.
But you will always have some wear.
Thanks for not being afraid to loosen the screw to show the difference
The guys in the other videos were to scared 😂😂😂

I have the same car. My steering is too soft. what can i do to make it harder?
You Sir explain very well
Thank you.

please, i would to like who is the reference for this gearbox for Mitsubishi Montero 87/89.
if you can, please, i need that information!
I have a Mitsubishi Montero 87, and the gearbox is damaged!
As usual, great informative content sir!
What make the steering to become lose? It's a sing that the gear box is going bad?
Fantastic job and explanation. Thank you!
Good overall, except that it is not unidirectional. The gear has a taper and tightens only in one direction.
