Cam Bearing Preload

Before making adjustment, disconnect drag link from pitman arm. Loosen instrument panel bracket clamp on steering gear jacket tube. Proceed with adjustment as follows:

1. Loosen lever shaft adjusting screw in side cover to allow cam follower(s) to be free from cam groove. Adjustment should be made so there is a very slight drag and still allow steering wheel to be turned from extreme right or left through complete circle by lightly gripping steering wheel rim with thumb and forefinger.
2. Remove top cover attaching screws and top cover to gain access to shims. Shims are available in thicknesses of.002".003" and.010". Add or remove shims as required. Install top cover and tighten attaching screws. Recheck adjustment.
