Sloppy Steering in '65 Valiant Manual Box

I like to leave the car on the ground and someone turn the wheel back and forth while I look for play in steering. Or you can jack up one side from control arm and grab the sides of the tire and pull back and forth to find play. Hanging from frame rails might work but not as good for finding steering play. Tighten it up and see if the play is gone 1st.
