Default Re: 1989 EZGO PCX-954 -- Steering Box Parts

Well, I re-assembled the steering box today. I put the single thrust washer / bearing on the bottom bearing. I put it between the bearing and the bottom of the worm gear. Re-packed with grease and reinstalled. The adjustment screw took some fiddling, but I was able to achieve satisfactory results... considering the age and how chewed up the worm shaft, follower / cam, and housing are.

So to answer my own question - I went with this sequence in the bottom bearing assembly, from bottom to top: race, bearing, thrust washer...

And yes, I agree with the others. The steering box on these old carts is very hard to turn compared to new carts. Even after the rebuild it is much better than it was, but it'll never match the newer designs.
