I'm rebuilding a steering box for my 52 8N, unfortunately I have to replace the steering shaft (the steering wheel was welded to the shaft). The new shaft (right) I received is quite different from the original (left) as seen in the photo. Once I put everything back together, the steering effort is way too high. I have a couple of questions/concerns.
Could this be causing the increased amount of effort to turn the shaft? If not, any ideas why the new shaft is so hard to spin?
Will the new shaft require more steering wheel rotation to make the same amount of change at the wheels?
I don't really want to take it apart again, but I guess I'll have to at this point.
Thanks in advance for any input!
