And, can someone explain the difference between "End Float" and "Pre-Load".
I assume end-float to mean the amount of play at the end of the steering
shaft.
 
Thx,

Pulled the end off the steering box today to check and adjust the end-float
and noticed that the outside bearing race was missing four(4) balls.
Hmmm.... it drove pretty good last summer. 
 
Before I shell out $80.to Moss for a new one, does anyone know if this item
is commonly available elsewhere at a reasonable cost? I mic'd the balls and
they are exactly 1/4".
 
Thx,
