Loose Steering???

Post by caz60b »

My FB has very loose steering....has sports steering wheel....if I put old steering wheel back on, would that help? or is there a more sinister problem going on in the steering???

Check your steering gear for worn areas , they are adjustable to an extent - get someone to move the wheel from side to side while you get under it and look where there is slop - tighten/adjust sloppy bits as required.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

If it is sloppy only on the straight ahead position then worn worm gear is the likely problem.
