Steering box

[Kinglenario]

Has anybody removed the Bosch steering box and taken a look at the adjustability or lack there of? I can’t see the front of the box where the adjustment would be. Or if there isn’t an adjustment maybe it could be disassembled and shimmed a little more. It seems that it’s just a bit loose from the manufacturer. You can turn the steering column with your hand and feel the play in the box.

There has to be an adjustment I would hope, but if the ball and grooves tolerance is just poor then there is nothing we can do. So many people use this design as an excuse for the poor steering. But recirc ball design is used in high precision machines and has been for a very long time. Even China has effectively perfected the recirc ball assembly. Ineos just made a bad decision somewhere down the line.
