Manco Steering Spindle Slop (short vid)

[Bosch]

I acquired this Dingo for free, it needed work.
Is this a normal amount of slop for the spindles on a Dingo?

Thanks.

It does look a little loose. You might be able to get by with some shim washers added top and bottom to take up the slack.

There should be more spring length at the top of the spindle too. Not sure what's going on there...

Do you have the Zerk fittings on the spindles?

Yes, it does have zerks.
I *think* it's all original, but.. I know none of its history.

So even when up on a block, the springs should still make contact at the top?
