Thanks for the hint. When I finished restoring the car for the first time about 25 years ago, I went completely rebuilt the front end suspension with all new parts and had it aligned. The steering was still a bit sloppy. By that I mean that as I go down the road, it takes more wheel deflection to guide the car than I would like. I realize it isn't a modern rack and pinion car, but it just felt loose. I tried adjusting the steering box, and it helped a little. I got a rebuilt PS pump and steering box, and still had loose steering. About 5 years ago I blew the car apart for a complete repaint, because the lacquer paint I used 20 years before was cracking and hazing. Just for good measure, I rebuilt the front end again and had it aligned by a good shop that really knows old cars. Steering is still loose. Not dangerous, just loose. Maybe they were that way 50 years ago. I would love to buy an AlterKation front end, but they are a bit pricey. I am thinking that a manual box might be the way to go.
