You might have to replace the peg that runs in the worm gear.  Denis Welch sells worm gear and peg sets that eliminate the "tight spot" in the middle and just make a nice tight fit for the entire travel.Mike MacLean

 Stephen, I have the same issue in my 1959 BN4.  I thought I was told I could tighten the set screw on the top of the steering gearbox.

I wonder if someone can point me to a good description of adjusting the end play or "end float" in the steering box.I don't find the manual's - "add or subtract shims as necessary to obtain the correct adjustment" very helpful.I had thought I had pretty minimal end play when I had the box on the bench (a few years back now), but on the road I find I need to take some of the play out.So- do more shims ad or decrease the end play? It's not immediately obvious to me. Also, I wonder if it's better to keep the arm attached while doing this to actually see if there is play under load.
I'm sorry if this seems like a dumb question - I had no trouble getting the shims right on the wheel bearings, but this one's got me a bit confused.Thanks,Stephen, BJ8
