Re: C2 Steering box specifications
The spec's you set them at are too loose. When I build or blueprint a box I set the preload at 3-4 in/lbs, the lash between 11-13 in/lbs, the lash screw shim to .001" and machine and fit pitman shaft bushings to .002" sideplay. The rebuild kit bushings will not give you less then .004-.005" The extra .002 will make a difference in road feel with a manual steering car. I set all of them that way though, PS or non. You have to use a very good dial torque wrench too,a lot will say you can get by with a beam TW but I wouldn't trust them. It comes down to what you want for your car. Did you dry set the gears to see how much adjustment is left in them?
