All,
Been kind of quiet on here lately as I've been driving and enjoying the Rover since reassembly!
Of course, the Rover gods won't have any of that, and need to have their say!
So ever since owning it, I've always felt the steering is a bit wonky....well wanders a little. I've kept the oil up in the relay and the steering box.
When reassembling the Rover, I adjusted the steering box per the manual hoping that might help things. Well, it didn't. After clocking about 1000 miles since putting her back together, the steering seems worse. But I chocked it up, wrongly, as that's the way they probably are.
Well, today there seems a lot more play in it. Driving it down the highway (full of wire wheels getting new tires for the MG ;)), it just seemed not right.
While waiting for the tires, I tried adjusting the box again and checked the oil levels....looked fine. I recall during reassembly trying to see if there was play in the wheels moving them 12 to 6 oclock and 3 to 9 oclock...did not think so.
Any ideas, or am I destined to take it to the repair shop for the first time?! What should I expect?
Cheers,
Julian
