There is way too much slop in the steering of my Super A. I have tightened up the tie-rod ends, and the steering column does not crank in and out when it turns, so I suspect that the problem is slop in the worm and sector gears, rather than end-play in the steering column bearings.
Is there any way to reduce the amount of slop? I can't find anything in the shop and owner's manuals indicating how to do this. Will I have to replace the worm and/or sector with new components? The sector is brass, so I suspect that that is where most of the wear has occurred. If I replace the sector, should I replace the worm, too? (Replacing both mating gears generally seems like a good idea, but it appears that to replace the worm I would have to replace the whole steering column, which won't be cheap...)
