Re: new steering box
all back together and driven/ here is a recap.
Redhead box is quit a difference in feel from my local rebuilt box. It has more resistance and I like that . Would recommend a redhead over a local rebuild if you need a box.
The 93 suburban two piece shaft fits perfectly. With the approx. 3 inch slide in of my steering column inward towards the dash.
Installed new rag joint/coupler and it is tight. Great improvement.
Now for the test drive. Compared to before there is an improvement (still has slop)and with the higher resistance on the new box the movement is a lot safer to adjust to going down the road. BUT the slop is less but still there, It is NOT coming from the box or rag joint for sure, It is coming from the connection between the two slip shafts on the suburban Shaft I bought . Not sure I can ever get this play out unless I find a NOS shaft, This almost looks like 30 year normal ware. Now if I assume that play is normal then it is in the column. Does anyone know if there is a way play can be found in a 93 suburban tilt column by something being worn out
