Has any had any luck filing or grinding the teeth on the sector shaft and/or power piston teeth to make gears mesh smoothly and take any play out? Especially removing any burs or ridges which can cause binding.
I have a few spare boxes and they all have play where the teeth mesh, but bind if the adjuster screw is done up to remove this play (specifically when not centered)
I’m certain this is what 99% of people’s steering play problems are in these types of steering boxes
I’m going to experiment with some files and a angle grinder with sandpaper disc.
It seems the sector shaft has a variable slope, but the power piston has straight edges on the teeth.
Any advise from anyone that’s had a go at this?
Cheers
