Steering box loose
Well it appears I need a new steering box. I tried to adjust the screw with locking nut. only made it tighter to turn but still had the 5 degree on each side from center slop or dead section.
Any suggestions for finding a new box for cheap. It also looks like it is heavy so replacement tips would be cool too.
