Much game in the direction of a Santana III

Hello,

I have acquired a Land Rover Santana 109 SIII of 1980.
I notice that the address has a lot of game. Is it normal? Is there any type of mechanical adjustment to minimize it?

The exesive game is not normal in the directions, you have the way to correct it Czech in the address column, there is an address box, which has a bolt and a nut on the outside that is the adjustment of the direction, release the nut and move the bolt seeks until the game is minimal, do not take away the whole game, since it has to have a tolerance.

Hi Kikemec,

thanks for your quick answer.
When I say he has an excessive game, I mean that I am always correcting the position of the steering wheel to go straight.
I downloaded the service manual that is on the web, I look at it and if I have any doubt I already tell you.

Ok there is no problem, but if what you correct is the position of the steering wheel you want to check is the alignment of the vehicle and for this to take the most recommended result, it is to change the tips of the address or address terminals and if possible the newspaper. That while you let me know how you are doing. But what you tell me has to do with the direction in its terminals, when you release the steering wheel the vehicle is notoriously loaded like any of the sides?

Hello,
at the time I leave the steering wheel, it is not that it goes to the side as if it were alignment, what I notice and see in the steering wheel that has a slack too large, that is, if I go straight, I can move the flywheel to the right or left in a very fine way, as if at that time it does not affect the direction mechanics, since there is nothing friction.
