Bruce, Could you better explain "....a high spot in the center so I adjust it just like any other American box, (it's an ATE/Ross box!) to zero lash on the high spot. (pitman arm zero side play- no "click")" Did your box start with slop and after cleaning and changing seal you a...

Nice job! My first VW was a '67 Beetle I bought in '77, just when graduating HS. Many fond memories in that car.......

My work's been busy so I've been working on the bus, but a lot of shorter days spaced in between work days. :( I cleaned stuff up and resealed the steering box.

I'm thinking of going to Lakewood Joe's Deli (not Rocky River) in the am around 8am-8:30am. Same family that owns the legendary Slyman's, but a lot cheaper.

Damn, I wish mine was as together as that........

As for the welds, I post pics of the good ones, but there's still plenty of ugly ones too.
