Power steering question for a 73 challenger

[blubyou340]

Does any body bknow how to tighten the steering box

There’s a lock nut and screw on top of the box. Check the FSM for the adjustment procedure. I also needed to tighten the steering, but I found my problem to be the aftermarket steering coupler not fitting tight on the worm gear. I cleaned up my OEM coupler, installed new shoes and my problem went way. I have tight steering now. I might suggest that you investigate the entire steering system and determine where there might be any sloppiness. Might not be coming from the box, but elsewhere.

Use a Factory Service Manual.
Free downloads available.
Extreme play indicates either a worn out box or bad coupler.

Just don't tighten it up too tight. It will feel great when really tight, but will wear out much faster. Also, you'd be surprised how much flex there is in the k-frame where the steering box is mounted. Hence why so many of us gusset our k-frames.

tubular upper control arms or offset upper control bushings = more caster big difference by it self.. there is more you can do if you like
