Steering bind when turning right

[TA301]

This is intermittent and frustrating. Sector shaft?

Sounds like your steering box, did you try and make any adjustments recently?

I messed around with the sector shaft and recalibrated the gearbox to remove slack.

When you adjusted the gear box, there are two adjustments that need to be done, one on the top with an Allen head and nut on it and the second is a large nut that is in between where the steering shaft connects to the gear box. Both adjustments need to done together, it’s like your ring and pinion in your differential, if your depth is not correct you will have a binding situation.
I ended up rebuilding mine after watching a few good videos on YouTube, bought the kit… and it’s all sealed up and he’s a good feel to it.

Not difficult, a little time consuming.

Thank you. I rebuilt the gearbox already and then installed it. The large nut you refer to has been adjusted. It is the sector shaft, I am sure. Before it had too much play and now it is tight except turning right. I will play with the sector shaft adjusting nut and see if it will resolve.
