How do you take out slack on peterbilt steering?
A pretty common cause of this is that the u-joints in the steering column need to be replaced.
How do you adjust steering free play on a 1994 mack truck?
The steering free play doesn't adjust.. if you have free play in your steering, you have a component worn out somewhere, and it needs to be replaced. Check the u-bolts on the steering column, check the drag link, tie rods, pitman arm, and spring pins for slack, check the steering pump and gearbox, determine which is the faulty component, and repair or replace it.

How do you tighten up a steering column on a 1985 Chevy Monte Carlo ss that has slack in it?
I'm having the same issue on this I am from mass as well. What I have found out by taking the steering column almost completely apart, is that there are four six point male started bolts that are behind everything. From what I was told by asking around is that those bolts need to be tightened. How to get to them is another issue. Hope this helps
What should be done to tighten the steering on a 97 F-3507.3L?
There are several things that can cause this. First check your tie rod ends. Have a friend turn your steering wheel back and forth and watch each tie rod end closly for any slack and replace any that are worn. Next your steering gear box may have slack and can be adjusted. There is a nut on top of it with a bolt through the middle. To adjust it, loosen the nut about a turn and then hold it from turning. Then turn the bolt in the middle clockwise with a large flat blade screw driver. I would turn it about a half a turn to start with. Then retighten the nut letting the bolt in the middle turn with it. Also the shaft that connects the steering column to the steering gear box is notorious for getting slack in it on those trucks. Grab that shaft in the center between the firewall and gear box and check it for slack. Replace if necessary.

1999 gmc suburban what causes the front axle to have slack from the output shaft of the transfer case?
If it has slack at the output shaft on the tcase, most likely it has a worn chain. Is it slack up and down or as you rotate it? If it's up and down it could be as simple as the ujoint on the front dshaft or a bad output shaft bearing.
What causes play in the manual steering of a 1989 Chevy S-10?
The steering gear box will eventually wear out and have slack min it like anything else. You can also check the tie-rods under the front. They wear out pretty fast. Have someone move the steering wheel back and forth while you crawl under the front end and watch the linkage. if a tie rod moves and the rod it's connected to doesn't move as much, it's bad. There should be no slack in the steering linkage.
Do all 1995 or older Jeep Cherokee's have some slack in the steering?
My 1994 Cherokee has very light (Easily steer with one finger) and fairly loose steering but not too much "slack". Check all the steering linkages for slack, or watch under the car as a friend turns the wheel back and forth (With the car off, but wheel unlocked). 2/5/09- I just picked up a 93 with the same problem. I replaced the short connector which comes right off the steering arm, along with the track bar and stabilizer. Handles sooooo much better now. Also put new 225/75's on and she's a real beaut on the highway!
Where is the belt tension release to replace the power steering belt for a 2004 Honda civic lx?
The adjusting pulley for the power steering is found on the side of the engine under the power steering pump. Loosen the bolt that keeps it tight and the belt will have some slack to slide off the pulley.
