> Are there certain parts that can wear/break and render an SB useless? > Yes, they do wear out, but not very frequently. Get a look at it and see if it's damaged externally. Maybe someone has been clumsy with it. It's possible to cause excessive wear by over-tightening the adjustment - perhaps someone has done that in the past. Check how to adjust the steering in a manual, and do it carefully yourself. What symptoms are there (eg excessive movement of the steering wheel before the wheels start to turn, tight spots, etc)? Our steering system is unusual in that there is more play at large angles of turn than in the centre. That's why the method of adjustment specifies the amount the wheel should be turned to do one of the adjustments. Dave.
