    can anyone tell me if there is a way to adjust the play out of a saganaw manual steering box. And how to do it. Or is the box junk once play arises. :flag:

    A slow link - be patient. Don't be tempted to simply tighten the mesh adjustment screw. The end play (worm preload) must be adjusted before the mesh is adjusted.

    Are you sure it is the gear box or is it maybe the coupler that joins the shafts? I was just the opposite and had a real hard time turning and replaced it as I had manual steering anyways. It did the trick and helped with the road wonder as well.
