Old Leafsprung Land Rovers

I've replaced my TRE's between the steering box and the relay today, and attempted to centralise the steering. All the tubes are measured to within the tolerances shown in the manual and the relay arms were in the correct position, but I had less lock on left hand down.

The drop arm of the steering box is touching the bulkhead with left hand down, I'm thinking that the arm has been off in the past and not replaced in the right place. Should the steering lock engage when the steering box is centralised?

So the drop arm can't go back in the wrong place, but should the arm touch the toe box?

Any more adjustments will need to wait until next weekend, at least some of the slop has gone from the steering.

The steering lock should centralise the steering. Engage it then set relay arm to 89/boingy degrees as manual tells you, whilst it is in bits put some oil in the relay (remove two screws one to let air out one for oil can) check your toe out and swivels and it should steer well.

some of the arms for the steering box end are all splined without the four wide splines as i have just found on mine so they can be put on in the wrong place i have one of each type they both will fit on my steering box
