Re: New 'Death Wobble'
Dave, The wobble can be coming from a number of different places. The steering box is one but first check to see if the ball at the end of the wishbone is tight. Also where the wishbone fastens to the front axle. Also check all the ends of the drag link and tie rods. Check to see if the pitman arm is tight on the end of the steering box. Check the toe in.
To some extent the 7 tooth box can be tightened up. The 2 tooth box has more adjustment. Try adjusting your steering box before tearing into it.
Do you have the Red Book, https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/p...031&cat=41621? It has some great instructions on how to identify and how to adjust and repair the steering components, including the box.
