Can I adjust the steering gear play on my 2008 Seneca/Kodiak without disconnecting the pitman arm, or any other parts? If so, what's the procedure and, or, specks?

I have close to 25 degrees of play in the input shaft with the hood open and standing there with my hand around the shaft. That's without the engine running, but IIRC, it doesn't change with power on.

The Seneca is not noted for being the best tracking vehicle on the road, by any means and sooner, or later, I'll be diving into sway bars, track bars, ultra shocks and whatever else Seneca owners with experience have done to improve handling. But, for right now, getting the play and preload tightened up (if possible) is gonna be a good start.

Thanks, DW.
