Ok I took apart the steering at the console a few months ago to replace guages wiring and switches. After putting it back together last weekend I noticed that the steering does work but seems more notchy than what I remember. There's not much to it so I'm surprised anything is different. I did regrease it, anybody have thoughts on that.

Re: Steering notchy after putting it back together

the feeling is definately from the steering wheel end. It kinda feels like the gears aren't quite close enough I can't imagine I put it back together wrong but it was apart for quite awhile. Two boxes geared cable ends, 8 nuts and bolts, 3 brackets and the steering wheel gear. I didn't mark which cable end was what but it does turn the right direction.
