Re: Steering Box Play
Do you have a 1956 MERC SHOP MANUAL? Everything you need to know is covered in the manual, including the correct method of adjusting the steering box. The DRAG LINK SOCKET has an adjustment feature also.

Re: Steering Box Play
Great to hear from you Kultulz!
I am trying to recover my Man Card. To start, we've been fortunate to take- was it 4 cruises- in Europe and my Frankenstein has been a door stop in the garage. I HAD a struggle with Time Left of Life v Money v Laziness. Laziness and Money won and did I ever pay for it!! I am now in the process of finding a new steering column from just below the steering wheel to the Pitman Arm. The Worm gear exhibits pitting on both faces for the races. |

Re: Steering Box Play
Hi Kultulz!
I was also looking at the shaft and worm gear on Ebay. My other problems are the Tube on column was also cut in the process when the Borgeson unit was installed. Talk about a mess..Zip Tie on Brake pedal return spring to hold up Column Shifter also cut up ("Yeah, that's the Ticket" Jon Lovitz comedian). How about some nice old grease on red and white upholstery along with floor carpet?? OMG what an idiot I am some times..... Ps I tried that Corn Grease, it did not appear to leak out of existing Box and when I opened it up, it was in a syrup like state. You'll remember this car was not put together correctly on rebuild and the pitting was probably from low or no grease? |

I did not know you had a BORGESON CONVERSION. Do you have any photos? ... sheesh ... Why do they do this? EDIT - Quote:
If this conversion is what you have, most likely you are going to have to buy a new box as it's being a CHI-COM SLOPPY COPY there will likely be no available service parts.

Re: Steering Box Play
I'll get some photos in the near future.
The Box works, it's more firm in turning than the stock set up. The car no longer leaves it's spots. HOWEVER what you don't know you don't know...is the Automatic Column Shift will no longer operate, you need a floor shifter like a Lokar or? to operate the Trans. The "Mechanic" tried but it's really botched up bc of room issues at the Firewall and Pump. I like the column shift and that's one reason I'm reverting back. Will try and sell the pump at a discount with already made up lines in Future. |
