1967 Barracuda.
Many years ago I swapped my power steering box for a manual box. I kept the power steering shaft and rebuilt the coupler. I drove it like that for many years on the original suspension.
Recently, I rebuilt the front end and got the car aligned.
The new suspension is AMAZING, with one exception: there is a very small "soft spot" in the steering wheel before the car reacts.
While investigating, I found that I can rotate the steering shaft with my hand just a degree or two, before the motion continues to the manual box. The rebuilt coupler seems to be absorbing a degree or two of rotation.
I would like a more direct connection between the steering shaft and box.
Have any of you solved this problem?
