Steering gear box

As a early morning task I worked on steering gear box of VW 1302 Super Beetle, construction is not rack and pinion design but former worm gear one. So the adjustment is performed from frontal trunk inside near by spear tire specially prepared capped hole.

45 degree tightening of adjuster bolt eliminated backlash that had been causing clicking noise when quick turning and back. The tightening of this adjuster often is returned heavier steering movement, in case of such tendency it's too much done. Slight clearance must be left for lubricant.

As for my way, thanks to the micro grain Teflon powder application well mixed with the lubricant oil inside, the reaction caused no change.
The centric steering position come to clear and attained easier keeping it on straight running.

But, as for surprise, the error of thrust angle became clear, 3 minute minus probably or 5 minutes at the most.
The rear axle adjustment including wheel alignment is not established yet, not today but next opportunity I'll try to do that with a great interests.
