<div>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. <br clear="none">

<div id="yiv4043513499yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466432795079_10160">I don't find the manual's - "add or subtract shims as necessary to obtain the correct adjustment" very helpful.</div>

<div dir="ltr" id="yiv4043513499yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1466432795079_10216">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.</div>
