B7100 - Replaced thrust bearings and have excessive steering play. Wheel rises about 1/8” from top column bushing before engaging to left.
Do I add or remove shims to to tighten play between thrust bearings? I used the 5 original shims, but suspect that gives me too much play and I need to remove shims without making it too tight.
There is also excessive play on horizontal shaft. I have adjusted screw but it makes no difference in tightening gear play. I have almost 2/3 of a wheel turn before steering engages.
It appears vertical play is adjusted with shims, horizontal with screw. Why Is screw not tightening or even affecting horizontal play?
Thanks for any and all advice
