[Healeys] steering box re-build

[Hank Leach]

What do the components of the steering idler arms and tie rods look
like? Lots of play can be eliminated by adjustment or replacement of
these parts. Steering box adjustment is limited at peg and if overly
worn-replacement is necessary. The symptom sound more like steering
rod/front end issues . Hank

 Carl, 
 The steering box on our Austin-Healey is very similar to the steering
box used on many highway and commercial trucks. I know that comment
will not be a surprise to many. There are firms that specialize in
rebuilding/remanufacturing steering gears for heavy equipment that can
rebuild the AH steering box.

   I have adjusted the peg as far as it goes without locking up the
wheels and I still have about 2 inch play. Doesn't bother me on twisty
roads but on highways I am working it all the time. 
 Is there a re-build kit out there somewhere? 
 I have a BN-4, 1957.
