[QUOTE="Garyukuk, post: 633812, member: 33266"] Having just bought my first Vw bus of any kind , and loving it, there’s just only one issue that’s spoiling the way it drives. The heavy unpowered steering I totally expected and have no problem living with at all (and quite like in a sadistic way) BUT although it steers ok I can suddenly get a 5 inch dead band were the steering suddenly slips and becomes very light but with no input to which way the front wheels are pointing. Does this sound like something can be fixed with the steering box adjustment ? Or is a symptom of a failing steering box due to lack of oil or general wear and tear .I’m asking as a new owner to vw bus ownership. Gary [/QUOTE]
