Maybe it worked - Maybe it didn't
Well - I just finished tearing apart the power steering cylinder and installing the power to manual kit. It took some time, it is in according to the instructions. It also had me remove the slave cylinder from the car completely along with the pump and hoses. I took the car for a 5 minute ride last night and the steering was extremely tight...no play and wobble. The problem seems to be that before I did all this work - I had play in the wheel, but was able to steer easily (with one hand). I noticed right away that now I need to use 2 hands and most of my body weight to turn the wheels. It seems strange because I never had fluid in the pump or the belt on to turn it. Something does not seem right. It is like driving a 8 ton truck without power steering (so to speak). Does this sound normal. I did turn the steering adjustment screw 1/2 turn...Do you think I over did it. Maybe it just needs to loosen up. It is much worse than before...the play is gone, but it is just not easy to manuever. Any thoughts??????
