Lynx Steering Box
Today we have a look at the inside workings of the Lynx steering box. The main difference between a MK1 and Mk2 is the steering ratio. It takes 2 full turns of the steering wheel to achieve full lock in either direction on a MK1 Lynx and 1&1/2 Turns for the MK2. The bearings used are NU304E.TVP2 which is basically a paraelle roller used for the end of the sector shaft , and for the main worm shaft the Timken combination of 35-BC and 38X . Also of note it looks like they upgraded the 3 x main mount bolts from 7/16" unc to 1/2" unc.
Cheers from The Tank Factory.
