I looked in the Service Manual and Searched for it here in the Forum.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 150 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 150 | I did see that prior my post, but I can't see where it tells the number of steering wheel revolutions lock to lock. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 137 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 137 | I believe it's about 2 1/2 to 2 3/4, somewhere in there. I rebuilt my steering box and reset everything when putting it back together. Had a hell of a time finding center. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 176 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 176 | I'll give you information for my 55 first series. Bump to bump is 4-1/8 revolutions. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 433 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 433 | sfsutton, I was curious so I check my 54 3100... From center just under 2 1/2 turns left to the bump, and just under 2 full turns to the right to the bump... What is up with the 1/2 turn difference? When I looked at OldSub Steering gear link and looked at the Turning Diameter chart, it shows "A" diameter range being Max 41-39 1/4 Min and "B" diameter range being Max 43 1/2-41 3/4 Min... This would explain the 1/2 turn difference...

I'm all set now....till the next thing.
Thanks | | |
