Default Steering box problem
When I replaced the sway bar, I realized that the pin comes out of the steering box, has a little backlash.
When I move with the hand, it say TIC TOC.
I feel this vibration even on the steering while driving.
It’s normal?? Can I adjust the backlash of the steering box??
Thank to all !

Epic start to a thread.

I'm morbidly curious to see where this conversation goes.

I hope not. Heard all aboutt he difference between the early BOXand the Chinese BOX so I guess a tear-down, inspection and parts-source party is in order!
