Ok that sounds about right, new bushes won't prevent it from going up and down. Does it have a hole drilled through it so a split pin can be fitted. This will stop the up and down movement. If it doesn't hava hole you might have to drill one. From memory that shaft is probably 3/4 inch diameter. If it has a hole in the shaft you will need to pack it with washers to take up any clearance above the split pin

I was thinking the same about drilling the same and putting the split pin in. The washers are a good idea as well. Should have some split pins and washers from my old mans gear. he passed over 17 years ago.

Thanks. Will get back with a pic..

You need at least one washer to protect the split pin or it will get cut off

Hello, Norm,

I drilled a hole in the quadrant pin but require a thinner washer as there's barely any room for it, and the split pin so i just put the pin in for now and will replace it with a thinner washer to protect the split pin from cutting as you've advised. The steering to the left is much improved as it was almost straight with the pin on the quadrant moving almost 2 inches upward when steering to the left.
I jacked up the left side to get better access.

Now will do the wheel turning outwards on both sides and the washers to space the tyres out from the king pins shortly to stop them from rubbing.

Very good every bit helps with the steering, they weren't that good from new, and they have had 30 years to get worse. I can check the measurement I used on the stop bolts if you want me to
