Adjustment of Datsun 521 Steering Box, Sector Shaft
I have a youtube video posted about this operation. I keep getting questions there about this, so I figured I'd put a page up here, in case I post more info.
Most of the questions have been about whether or not the gears are tapered or not. I decided to put up a drawing of the box that is in the manual. You can easily see that the gears are tapered. The pitman are tightens on the bottom of the sector shaft, but does not limit it from moving up and down a bit for the adjustment.
The factory manual this was taken from is available under the Manuals tab at the top of the page.
