I tried rotating the hubs on my early 1948 (4 bolt) steering gear to take up the Play...but that didn't help. There is NO up and down play at the steering wheel shaft. The Sector shafts seem to be correctly connected. I'm baffled. I have put a lot into this restoration and I'm now ready to paint the gray sheetmetal, put it back on and I'm done...but this steering "play" of 7 inches won't cut it! I appreciate the comments so far but I need more help. Any other ideas anybody? And another question: Is the word "backlash" as mentioned in the FO-4 manual the same as the word I'm using (Play)?
