Steering problem revisited again and again.
I have a '40 box and steering arm in my '36, the car steers very easily and performs just as I hoped but with one exception; when I make a left hand turn the steering wheel no longer remains centered when going straight down the road. When I make a right hand turn and upon completion the steering wheel goes back to center as I go straight down the road. I've been on this site multiple times with this problem and have been unable to resolve the issue but have learned to live with it until now. Am putting the car up for sale and would like to offer the car in perfect operating condition.
Could this be a bad sector shaft and explain the left hand turn problem?
