![]() First check out all steering linkage, as previously noted. Tie rod ends, idler arm, drag link, and even ball joints and wheel bearings. After all that is repaired/replaced and is tight, check the steering box. If that's where the play is, try to adjust the pre load. That's all I had to do in my '66 and all was fine. Only if adjustment doesn't work should you go to the expense of a new box. At least, that's my opinion.
