Default Re: Stearing sector problems

The original 7 tooth in my 28 Phaeton is in good shape, even though I haven't worked on it yet, and about 20 years ago I bought a 7 tooth with steering wheel that has no slop at all. It must have been removed from a very low mileage car early in it's life.


The bottom cover on the 7 tooth has brass shims that can be removed to reduce end play in the steering shaft which holds the steering wheel in place. I bought an NOS lower bushing and housing from Little Dearborn about 10 years ago for my 7 tooth, but don't know if I will need it yet.


Bert's has lots of good original parts. I stopped there the other day on my way home from Arizona, as I passed through Denver. I bought some hard to find original 28 parts from Steve at Bert's. 1-800-321-1931
