Loose in steering box

[Neville Minuti]

Good afternoon
I have an FSM 1987 126 LHD. It has a loose on the steering. The part number on the box is 1A 126AB0C1. I am able to find various boxes but they all start with any prefex other than 1A.  What is the meaning of thyye prefix? Any help from where I can buy a good steering box? Kingpins have been renewed this week. Many thanks, neville

Hi Neville 1A 126AB0C1 don’t know what the 1A stands for could just be something to do with the casting number 126AB0C1 is the part number for the steering box

Hi
Thank you
Seems there are 2 types for the 126. Its the end shaft, steering column, entering the box.  However i noticed that the prefixes so far are 1A/B going up to 4.
Thanks a lot

Have you tried adjusting your current steering box to take the play out?

Many thanks

This guide covers the adjusting steering boxes, although it's not for a 126 but the principal is the same.  Check video from time 3.15 on
