Default Re: Steering effort unequal - thoughts?

I had the same problem on a new car to me . In my case it was an easy fix and I did not have remove the column The eccentric rivet needed adjustment . The eccentric rivet adjusts the centre of scope between the worm and sector this must be even on both sides . If it is not even one lock has more clearance than the other the other can be stiff . Jack up the front and back off the housing bolts enough so the top housing can "skid" on the bottom using a right angled screwdriver turn the rivet to even the play you will soon know if you are turning the right way . I have done this from the top but it can be done from below . Give it a try I think this is your problem .The rivet adjust is often neglected when adjusting the box.
