I received this report from a friend that had bought a few cars from me (all Danburys)  I sold him a Franklin Corvette and he said the steering wheel /lower wheel synchronization was intermittent.  I offered to take it back and he said he would try a fix.  Here is his report on getting it “working A-oK”

🤷‍♂️ Thoughts from the experts on this?

New message from: mxcxxxx i got her fixed.put it in front of a floor heater for a few then a light drop of shaver oil on the steering gear,works good.the teeth on the rack an pinion werent lining up with the gear in the steering shaft. thanks again.
