There in a lot of lost'motlon in my
steering wheel and it bothers me quite
o‘iot. There has been a loss of two
or three inches for sovernl years, but"
during the last few days it has in-
» crossed to almost half a turn. Hour
shall I go about it to remedy this. or
is it beyond the ability of the average
owner '2 , , READER.
The first case was probably due to
wear in the steering gear itself. This
may be reduced by turning the ad-
justing not just above the steering
gear case. The lnoreaslng looseness
is due to the ball and socket. joints
coming loose. See it these can be not
up with a screw driver. They should
be tightened and then secured with,
cotter pinncflflth wheels on Jacksvou
should adjust to have a full free swing
to right and to left. If the parts are
badly worn and bind then you will
find it necessary to install new ports.
