As I mentioned yesterday I am in the middle of stripping my old girl down for a good cleaning.
I decided to check the play in the steering and shock of shocks I noticed that when I turn the wheel there seems to be quite a bit of play. The play starts at the steering box where it cuts through the frame to to steering link. I would say the play moves laterally about half an inch.
There is also play in the drag link (at least I think that is the proper term). I know this is not normal, but I am wondering what is normal on a vehicle this age.
Also is there away to adjust this play out of the steering box or do I have to remove the steering box and rebuild it?
The truck will not leave the farm very much, but I would rather have a safe truck then a so so truck.
