disco2 steering

Hi, got some play in my steering and think its in box. I know I can adjust the slop but how far do I wind the grub screw in?

Couldnt explain it much when using my phone earlier. when driving earlier i noticed a bit of play side to side on the steering wheel, i think the problem is backlash in the steering box. i know this is adjustable but once locking nut is slackend off how far do i wind it in?

i didn't know this was adjustable!, im in the same boat so any info would be great! I love landys

I better paste this instead of trying to explain it with my funny english
U can skip the drag link/drop arm thing if u are in a hurry though...it's enough to raise the front untill the wheels are moving free or even simpler leave the engine runnin while u adjust it and u can leave the car on wheels(u'll have the PAS working then)........be aware that a small movement in the UJ/steering wheel will always exist, do not "overadjust" it.

Ok I thought I just had to undo locking nut and wind adjuster in?

That's the ideea but u have to know how much to adjust as to not have a tight steering.....if u overdo it the steering will not come back by itself after cornering...that's why there are some extra procedures....anyway if the box or msomething in the steering linkage is threaded te adjustment wont help too much

Ok, I'm still unsure as to how far to adjust it. Thanks

It's there, nr.1 in the "Adjust" picture

Sorry I'm on my phone and i didn't see the other pic. Thanks for your help
