[T2] Steering - 73 bus (Dave Gillingham)

[Dave Gillingham]

I have not tried it myself.  I have had three shops look at it - the last
one decided it was the center pin - which I had checked and it seemed
fine.  They replaced it.   I replaced the steering box again as two of the
four I have purchased were bad.   I will try your suggestion.  Thanks.
