The cushion that came with the seat is ruined due to cats peeing on it for years. Also the frame ...is still ok to use but would prefer a better one. I DO NOT need the tracks. I know where to get new foam but they will only sell in pairs. I only need one. Thanks everyone.

Loose steering box bolts was the problem. They were all loose by about 2 turns! Tightened them up and ....bingo! Back to normal! Thank you everyone for your input!!!!!

Update!!! I had to move my car out so I thought I'd just do a quick check on the steering box bolts....LOOSE! I had the car running and grabbed the steering shaft by hand and turned it...the steering box was moving around! Haven't fixed anything yet but at least i know what the problem is...

I got this car a few years ago from a little ol' lady ( original owner) and only 72K miles on it so I know nothing has been replaced in the front end. I DID put new torsion bars and converted it to '73 and up front disc brakes but that's all that's new. When I start digging into it I'll be...

It has new radials and was aligned by a guy that does all the hotrod stuff in the area. He for sure knows what he's doing.

I haven't gotten a chance to look into anything but that's one thing that's on my list when I do.

Thank you for that! Good to know. I'll be checking components for condition this weekend or next...when time allows. The car is parked until then!

When I bought all the parts I did order the earlier parts kit so I think I'm good on the strut rods but thank you for the info. I had no idea!!

No front sway bar and new tires. I'll check the brand. There must be some slop in there somewhere so when I get some time I'm gonna track it all down.

Yeah, I think it's time to start looking at worn parts now from what everyone has said. Thank you.

I did convert the car to '73 and up disc brakes and put in heavy duty torsion bars. I used the original lower arms though but I think that's ok. Both of those were HUGE improvements! Now that I know I already have a LR box I'll be looking into worn parts and on.

Thanks for that. I was wondering what is considered a low ratio box.

When I turn the steering wheel it seems like I have to turn it quite a bit before anything happens but when it does it seems to be pretty quick. There seems to be a delay in the steering response in other words. The car will go straight for long stretches if I take my hands off of the steering...

Hello everyone. It's been awhile! Anyway, the steering on my '70 slant six duster is scary! The car has 80,000 miles on it. I had it aligned about 3 years ago but haven't driven it much. The guy who did the job said everything looked good as far as the components go. The car drives VERY...

You're welcome. If you have any other questions please ask. I feel like I'm an expert now having dealt with all the problems.
