Has any one on this list adjusted the steering box on power steering
models?

Is there any play in the steering? If so, I have been told that you can
adjust this (only power steering) by add shims in the steering
housing,My Bentley 1980-1989 page 48.11. Look here and see the shim.Bad
shocks can cause this.Bounce the front end real fast and hard.Let go at
the down position.It should bounce 1 to 1 1/2 x's if any more your
shocks are bad or going bad.See if there are any leaks on shocks.Out of
round tires could be a problem.Jack ea front tire off the ground, one at
a time.Place tin can on ground, center of tire.Spin tire and watch the
action.You will know the answer, believe me.Run these and Dennis's
ideals by your mechanics and see.Bent rim and a tire that's hit a curb
real hard also.Keep us informed.  Marcus
