Need help steering box? Car out of commission

Dan201 said
There is about an 1/8 of a turn with the steering wheel without movement of the tires and it looks to be coming from the box with the car off haven't tested with it running. It feels almost like it is jumping teeth when driving it but then the way it slowely goes back to being tilted wouldn't make sense if it is jumping teeth. I am going to try and get underneath it today and see what I can find out about things being oblonged I will look for wear marks on the lca where it mounts to the frame. Thanks for the advice.

When I first read that I thought 1/8 of an inch isn't bad... OH 1/8 of a turn, That's a big problem. My guess would be that it's not jumping a tooth but what you are feeling is the "slap" in the gear faces, kinda like a muffled clunk sound.
If it were skipping a tooth the steering wheel would be out worse and worse every time it skipped, not go back to where it was.
Sounds like you may need a helper to saw the steering wheel while you look at the moving parts.
