GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Saginaw steering gear is the recirculating ball nut
and worm type. The worm is located on the lower end
of the steering shaft. The ball nut is mounted on the
worm and the steel balls act as a rolling thread between
the worm and nut to provide a low friction drive
between them.
Teeth on the ball nut engage teeth on the pitman
shaft sector. The teeth on the ball nut are made so that
a tighter fit exists between the ball nut and pitman shaft
sector teeth when the front wheels are in the straight
ahead position. The sector teeth are slightly tapered so
that a proper preload may be obtained by moving the
pitman shaft endways by means of a preload adjuster
screw w hich extends through the gear housing side
cover. The head of the preload adjuster and a selective
ly fitted shim fit snugly into a T-slot in the end of the
pitman shaft, so that the screw also controls the end
play of the shaft.
SAGINAW MODEL 5 3 5

For disassembly, assembly, and adjustment proce
dures, refer to figures 2 through 4.
