Exhaustive Steering Discussion for 140's? 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Blackjackmac on  Sun Nov 17 05:41 CST 2013 [RELATED]

As with any steering box the high part of the worm must be centred in the straight ahead position by adjusting tie rods either side to attain straight ahead with the correct amount of toe. The 140 box can be adjusted this way without any play, as with any steering all pins bushes tiered ends ball joints must be sound. To my mind the steering in the 140 is excellent,and could not be improved by swapping with another make. To convert to rack and pinion would open a can of worms like bump steer etc. Volvo got it right.
