this procedure also applies to and car that uses a sliding king pin for the suspension. First check the king pin to make sure it's straight. The steering block must be able to rotate & slide up and down freely. If the steering block falls under it's own weight you have it spot on.
@percypee Had to sit and fiddle with all the parts until they moved freely. These are used parts and will have ‘worn in’ to some extent. Tried the axle in the plastic steering hub both ways and mad sure it isn’t too far in, too far out of the steering hub so that the king pin can slide through without binding. Turned the king pin in the lower A arm until things slid up and down easily, also tried the king pin in the other way. Just a matter of trial and error until things move easily. HTH
