Surf steering???

can anyone help...my 91 Surf seems to have a lot more right hand lock than left hand, :shock:

so doing left tight hand turns is a bit of a mission at times??? otherwise steering seems okay :!:

Check that the stop bolts haven't come loose on one side :wink:

Other reasons are probably bent bits :cry:

could also be the arm on the steering box has moved (stripped shaft a little,or been moved before you bought it??) to a non-centred position, therefore giving you less turn one way, seen it before on a mitsi starion. If it is, it's an easy fix, remove the arm, figure out where the centre point in the box is, then reattach the arm...... easy peasy!! :wink:

my 94 steering box has no centre, it continuse , as I found out when i bent the spline in the arm when i hit a rut so it cant be out of center, just centered the steering wheel again. but a 91 might be different. agree that the steering stop things behind the wheel could be out?
