oldnugly 2 #1 Posted June 12, 2011 I have a 953 and a question about the steering. There's about an eighth of a turn in the steering wheel before it snugs up. The drag link rod starts to move as soon as the steering wheel starts. but the ball joint doesn't snug up until the drag link rod has moved about a quarter inch. Is that too much slop in the steering? Thanks-Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #2 Posted June 12, 2011 I'm not a 953 expert but that sounds like a lot of movement to me. There's nothing more anoying than sloppy steering. I'd look into it. :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hammerhead 817 #3 Posted June 13, 2011 If you have an early 1963 953, then you should have a nice Ross aluminum sealed steering box and you can tighten up the slop in that type. If you have a later production 953, it has the fan gear type and I don't think you can adjust them much if any. Hammerhead :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
