Overhauled steering gear is Binding Help.....

[henryford30]

Hello specialists
I have overhauled the steering gear on my 30 Coupe.
The steering worm, the 2 tooth steering upper race, the steering sector and all bearings were replaced.
I strictly followed the adjustment instructions and made the adjustments step by step. The steering worked perfectly on the workbench.
But when I installed the steering column and put the load of the Model A on the wheels, I could only turn the steering wheel with a metallic creaking noise.
I then tried to optimize the settings (all 4 options) in the installed state, which unfortunately did not lead to success.
As soon as I take the weight off the front wheels, the steering works perfectly without sluggishness and noise (binding).
The steering column is not braced or installed crooked and the 2-tooth sector gear has no contact with the hole in the frame where the shaft goes through.

What else could I try now, I have spent a lot of money and even more time and unfortunately the result is not acceptable.
Thank you very much for your help !!!
