Seven Tooth Steering Box

[Hunter]

I have been working on my seven tooth box box and have a couple of questions.

For a well rebuild box, approximately how much steering wheel play should you have (measured at the outer diameter of the steering wheel?

Reading Les Andrews book I have the impression that the shims at the bottom of the shaft only adjust end play of the shaft, do they have any influence on the amount of steering wheel play (left to right) that one has?


Thanks - Hunter
