Hi all,
Having a leaky steering box in my disco, I decided to purchase a BN steering box, not a reconditioned one. It took 9 moths to complete other mayor/minor fixes/mods in the disco until I put the car in the road again. But after two weeks of soft use, suddenly, the steering shows an extrange behaviour, as there is (almost) no play in the center, but moving the steering wheel you can feel how the freeplay increases as you turn the wheel to the end (both ends).
All track rod ends are new, and all the play is located solely in the steering box. The box is tight in its place, and the car drives really fine in the road (I haven't the time to test it off road).
Do you know why this might be happening? Do you think that this steering box was a poorly recon one, rather than a BN (I live in Spain, so this wont be a surprise for me, you know what happens at these lattitudes) . Any way to fix it ?
At least does not leak (crossing fingers)
Regards,
Carlos.
