END PLAY for ball thrust races either side of worm.
What would be/should be the end play for the inner column bearings?? (Adjusted with shims under clamping cover 1A6117)
I propose to assemble with no shims doing up 2 setscrews 2K5289 alternately a bit at a time till clamping cover has pushed bearing cup 1A6131 in to just touch the balls and measure gap between clamping cover and box then add shims to take up distance + end float clearance....but WHAT CLEARANCE?
I removed the inner column/worm/bearing cup with my hydraulic press.....overkill as realised threaded rod + nut and washer at steering wheel end and tube/washer/nut at box end would have done just as easily
