Hi,
Got the C20b running perfect,now I'm tackling the non-power steering box.The last guy who ran this lift said it just stopped turning to the left one day and thats why they parked it over a year ago.If you turned the wheel to the left it didnt engage and just started to "un-thread"out of the steering column.I removed the box and opened it up.totally dry inside and the bottom bearing and race were completely destroyed.Ordered new bottom plug (bottom race is machined into it)and bottom bearing($36 and $17,not bad)
Anyway,when I put it all back together and get it back in the truck whats the best way to find center so i have same number of turns lock to lock?Could eyeball it but pulling the pitman arm on and off every time I have to correct would be rough.Any trick to this?
Thanks,
Sam K.
