Ford 2000,3000 steering box

Post by ford7600 »

Hi All
I seem to have a problem with my Ford 2000,3000 steering box .The Problems is that I have recently rebuilt the box but the steering is very stiff to turn I have shimmed the pre-load correctly and fitted new bearings to the top and bottom of the steering colum and the amount of play is reasonable , is the problem that the rocker shafts are too tight against the nut ?

if you ever get this problem which I have now sorted the fact is to prevent this is to also replace the top bearing cup .
