<div>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.</div>

<div>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.
