I am working on my '78 Muskeg carrier and am curious about the behavior of the steering rams.
This has the dual setup where the rams have two sides, running off the power steering pump, the other side uses car brake master cylinders.
When I start the engine, the power side activates some, as if is taking up slack in the linkages. This doesn't leave much travel...
I am wondering if this is normal. If not, does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong?
If it is normal, then I need to proceed to adjusting the bands correctly. I know they should not be too tight, so how do I know when to stop turning the nut!
Thanks.
