I have an extra 2 tooth steering box I would like to play with. I mounted the steering box in a position similar to the way it is in the car, I attached a spare pitman arm and checked the movement. now guys remember I have never done this before. so with the pitman arm in a vertical position and the bolt that locks it in place positioned at 12 o'clock ,I cannot turn the steering to the right at all. I can turn it to the left until the bolt is in the 3 o'clock position. this does not seem proper to me ? any clues out there. second question: drag link, I have about 1/4 in. play at the connection I checked the components and they look like the book, wondering is there a made filler washer I can add in to take up the space? as always thanks for the help THE HOOCH
