Hello everyone;
Does anyone have the time to help me understand some of the finer points
of rebuilding the rack and pinion steering on a '74 Midget?
I have one out of the car and it is very stiff. I want to take it apart
but I have never done this before and I am wondering if there are any
gotchas to worry about.
Also, I don't understand the term 'BACKLASH' which is reference in the
Haynes manual. It tells to measure for backlash and adjust accordingly.
I don't understand....
Also, it seems very tight unless the large nut holding the pinion? is
very loose. Is this a problem? How easy should it be to move the rack
when it is out of the car?
Please help...
Thanks,
Monty
