had a look but i cant find anything on here. Apart from the adjustment guide, but does that sort this?
is there anything you can do for a sloppy box or is just a case of finding a good one? I'm ready for the MOT and insurance now but i want to sort this out before i take it for the test because there's no chance it would pass. It's nearly impossible to keep it in a straight line!

yeah you an wind the screw a bit fella dont take that much play up to be honest but might just be enough to get it through the mot! you aint gunna find a 100% perfect one to be honest i think! when i went to the pas mod my jimny box was removed from a 09 plate jimny with 45k on the clock and it has a bit of play in it!

I'll try it tomorrow, if it doesn't make much difference I'll see if there's another lying around. You'll of used the jimny one for the power steering did you? this might be the motivation i need to put PAS on!
