Okay... I have read through many of the threads dealing with slop in the steering and have picked up on some of what was said... But I must give away my ignorance here on this topic. Since purchasing my 66 4 yrs ago it has had slop. Doesn't seem to get worse, but when I am going around an on ramp greater than say 50 mph there is definitely some movement that I have just gotten used to... but, I know it is not normal.
I have done some research and I think most of the excess movment is coming from the joints in the linkage that are greased(can someone please tell me what these are called;D) What I have no clue about is how to tell if these joints have gone bad and if they can be replaced or fixed or if the whole linkage must be replaced? I am trying to get this thing in better shape so that I will feel comfortable taking my little girl for Bronco rides that she begs for every day! Thanks for bearing with my ignorance.
