Removing Steering wheel play on a 71
I once read an article were a guy described in detail how to remove the
steering wheel free play on a Corvette. I have rebult the front end on my 71 including the power steering components. The rag joint is new. I repacked the steering gear also.I would enjoy hearing from other C3 owners on how tight their steering is. Thanks all! Rick |

Loosen the jam nut and turn the set screw in, maybe 1/16 of a turn and lock the jam nut. Try it, if that isn't enough do it again. Go easy, you can lock it up or damage the mechanism. -- Dad 04 C5 CE Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd |

I believe you are talking about play in the wheel from left to right as you
steer. That fix is fairly simply as described in the previous post. Any input on my steering. My wheel moves in circles approximately 2" in all directions. Is there a problem in the tilt wheel mechanism? |
