Default Re: Overhauled steering gear is Binding Help.....

With load on the front end, the car really needs forward movement to ease the steering. If it feels "notchy" or has a catch spot in the front wheel centered position then it may not have enough slack in that position. The centered position is the only gear location that the Gemmer steering gears are set to zero play. Once it is moved off center either way, the play begins to increase. If zero play is set too tight then it will have a built in catch spot.
