There's some play on both LH & RH swivels on my 1971 109. I've studied the manual & I'm hoping to get away with a quick-fix by removing shims as necessary. Have I got a reasonable chance of success? Or does free play usually indicate the need for new top & bottom bearings, in other words a thorough overhaul ?
On a related issue, has anyone out there replaced a steering idler box ? I've heard dark rumours about difficulties in persuading the box out of its tight fit in the chassis. Is it really that bad ?
Any advice much appreciated.
