If there is very much more than this, have someone | move the steering wheel to and fro while you watch the steering con- | mections. Jack up one front wheel, then move it from side to side, when you will sce if the play is in the tie rod bolts or not. If there is excessive play in the bolts, they will have to be replaced, as once they become loose, they wear rapidly and rattle badly. These con- nections are generally covered with mud and dirt, and for this reason are often neglected. This neglect will surely cost you gaoney.is repair bills and make your car harder to steer than it should. ake it a racti¢e of thoroughly cleaning and lubricating these connections at least once a week, and you will add to your pleasure in driving and subtract from your repair bills. : { If you find that the play or backlash is in the worm gear at the | bottom of steering column, it can Seon, be taken up by means of the adjusting screw or nut provided at the top of the gear housing. ‘Turn down the adjusting nut until the free movement of the steering wheel is just 1 inch, Finish by backing the geanphousing with a ight graphite grease or a heavy oil. If there is considerable wear: in the worm, it may be impossible to-take up the play with the ad- justmg nut, and the worm will have to be turned around. To do this, the steering gear has to be taktn down, and this job shonld only, be done by an experienced mechanic. Test the alignment of the wheels. The mileage you get gut of the front tires, depends toa large extent on whether the front wheels are in perfect align- ment or not. If they are out of alignment, it sets up a scruffing Jaction which wears out the \treads very rapidly. The wheels \ean be put out of alignment by hitting a rut or bumping against the curb. If the wheels are out ‘of line it will also make the car hard to steer, causing it to run |to one side all the time. The \easiest way to test the alignment is to jack up the front axle until both wheels are off sie) groem and the tie rod is free to move. Now place a box or so! ing to }steady your hand so that when the wheel is revolved, you can marie jm line around tire with a soft lead pencil. If you do not keep your hand steady, you will not be able to get the line straight. After you have marked” both tires, carefully. measure the dittence ia fect between the two line$.at a point directly opposite the centre of the hub cap. Make a note of the distance, then measure in the same way between the lines on the tire at the rear, taking the measurement directly opposite the hub cap also. The measurement at the rear |should be 5/16 to 3§ inch more than it is at front. If the difference |between the lines is any different peas wheels are out of line. ® To adjust the distanee, rem the bolt and turn the adjustable Yok on the tie rod one way or the other until the wheels like up correct hi ‘ WEEK—OVERHAULING THE BRAKES, CLUTCH AND SPRINGS RE TE TE | powerful and dependable Haynes 77 PR T six-cylinder motor, equipped with the renowned Haynes volatilizer.
