300sd new steering box tight
 

Hello, hopefully someone here can advise. I put in a new steering box today and adjusted the firm nut so it should easier to turn the wheel. I put the adjuster clockwise in increments to see if it would make the steering looser, but no matter how far I put the 6mm nut in, it’s still super firm.

The whole front end is new as well. I don’t have a reference on how loose the steering should be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also when putting new power steering fluid in, it only needed 1qrt and I thought it needed 2. Is there anything after install things I should have done?

I posted in the other thread, but it sounds like there's a warranty claim on your horizon.

There's a few things that the box could be doing, but if one of my customers described the same situation I'd have them ship the box back to me.
