: G-morning Everyone;Since I acquired my 1930 Tudor Sedan recently, I have noticed that the steering has between 1/16 to 1/8 turn of play in the steering wheel.This plays havoc for this new owner while driving on the road.Could someone please detail the steps to look at to correct this problem?If possible, could you state them in the matter like:Step 1 - do this and if this does not correct it, then proceed to Step 2.....etc.Thanks in advance for all of your help.Frank - Knoxville, TN.
Frank,
Along with the top notch advice from Marco, get some of the restore type books that deal with the years of wear. Les Andrew's Handbook is a great start and a 5 book series How to restore your A, both are available thru vendors listed on the MAFCA sight (www.mafca.com). Also would be good to hitch up with MAFCA or MARC and a local chapter as they are very helpful too.
Let the board know what you find.
Good Luck,
GW
