Hey guys, what's happening? So what you see in front of you is a 2006 Ford F250 power stroke six-later and it has about 200,000 miles on it and kind of doing some maintenance right now and I actually have some play in steering wheel. I want to get rid of it. I have 35 inch tires and it's kind of getting worse. It was fun, it was a problem. It seemed to get exacerbated when I got new tires. So I want to try to get rid of that play and I've done this many times in different cars over the years so yeah it's pretty big basic fix. I'm going to take the air box to get off or get to it but yeah you just got to tighten the screw. I'm trying to do that but yeah the power steering gear is down here so you have to take the air box to get off it. So yeah I mean obviously you want to check the basics first like your joints and stuff but I replace my joints about a year and a half to years ago so like I said having these bigger tires creates more wear on the gear so. So they really did put this in hard spot to get to. See that nut right there with the Allen top there's a nut. We have to twist that in usually about a quarter inch at a time but I'll show you how to explain and give you a picture of what it looks like or what it does. So I've built probably five or six power steering gears over the years and so what happens is you have a couple gears. I'll bring about a picture in a couple of seconds and when you tighten that screw you're creating like a mesh on the gears so the gears doing this basically inside that power steering gear box. So what you're doing is you're tightening it. I'll bring about a picture right now. So in that picture you can see the gears you're basically pushing the gears down so you're tightening the gear and the critical thing is if you over tighten the gear then it's going to bind and it won't steer or you can lock up the steering. So you've got to get like the perfect balance of no play and also being able to steer at the same time and not how to tighten stiff. Alright so I used an 18mm with a universal joint to loosen it but it's difficult because it's in there so. Alright, getting one of these little ball Allen's will definitely make it easier to get in there. You can see that on this particular engine it's weird there's actually a double lock nut. So I've never seen a double lock nut but let's say that it's to keep the other one in place it doesn't back off. I think it's interesting is the lock bolt was a 17mm and that bottom bolt right there was a 16mm. There is a very difficult to get in there without having to take the whole radiator out. So I put this little, it's called here the quibar and give a little extra space on the radiator hose but let me show you real fast. I have the wrench coming from this side right under the shroud there. This doesn't have to be perfect but what I'm doing is I'm eyeballing the nut and I'm having it locked in there and I'm backing off on the Allen but probably about a quarter turn and I'm going to tighten the lock nut again and that should bring in a quarter inch. I think I can't get an Allen in there and I'm wrenching at the same time so I mean at least do all tighten it down. Alright so every time I make an adjustment, obviously I locked on the lock nut and then turn the car on and turn the steering wheel back and forth. What you're looking, what you want to do is if you over tighten it, you're going to get binding and this will stick and you won't want to come out of a turn. Turn the wheel back, turn the wheels, feel for binding. Back and forth a couple times. I can go more. I'm not binding, I don't feel like binding yet. It's still a little bit of play though. I'm going to have a little bit no matter what. Alright so that's it. I mean this thing's dramatically reduced. I mean you're still going to have always a little bit of play. You don't want to get rid of all of it because like I said you bind up and also like when you make an adjustment to this it has to kind of like mesh in like a new gear pattern. So the teeth are hitting a new version part of metal so they kind of need to mesh up. Alright so I'm going to tighten this all back together and that's it. So cool and then tomorrow I'm going to do a flush. I don't think I've ever done a flush on this thing so I'm talking 200,000 miles so I'm just kind of going through the truck and doing like 200,000 mile maintenance here.
