How loose is your steering??

[Ben KVX]

Just curious, how much free play do you have in your steering wheel? Say traveling down the freeway how much side to side freeplay do you have, mine might be normal just feels a little looser than most vehicles. If so, is there an adjustment? Thanks.

Mine is pretty tight. I dont offroad, so it gets a lot of street action whcih Im sure keeps it pretty tight.

This one is simple; the VX shop mannual allows .30 to 1.1 inches of steering-wheel free play. Anywhere in that range is okay. If you don't like yours, the adjustment is also simple. Simply release the outer nut on the top of the steering box and tighten down the inner screw a tad. Simple enough?

Funny you mention this because I think my steering has gotten a little loose over the years. When I went to visit my mom in FL last month, I drove her 96 Trooper around for a bit. MAN that was loose.

Thanks guys, I ordered a repair manual last week, it should be here today. I was just a little jumpy with the question. I'll still accept some pictures in the cold if the offer still stands.

The thread I listed has pictures. Granted, they're not pictures from a VX, but if you can find your steering box, you should be good to go.

"but if you can find your steering box"

Just follow the steering column from the firewall down & forward. Where it ends is the steering box in question.

Just giving a guy the benefit of the doubt. Old habits die hard.
