I tightened the worm gear on the steering box-with the wheels off the ground and it seemed to have fixed the problem . So my question is this how tight can I tighten it with out ruining the gear. I snugged it pretty good and it worked but dont want to drive on it till I get a 2nd opinion. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 | I So my question is this how tight can I tighten it with out ruining the gear.

There should be no binding. The straight ahead position should be the tightest.
