Default Re: 1953 Ford Steering

It looks like you are on the way to getting the front end sorted out. If you are still not happy with the directional stability try switching to radials. Brake adjustment and front end alignment are critical. I had the left rear brake tighter than the right. It pulled to the left every time the brakes were touched. Replace the worn bushings in the front and you should be good. To quote the guy that lined up my 53 Courier: "Man that rides nice." Heed 51 MercCt's info on the center feel of the steering box. Getting the stock front end back in spec will do wonders. Don't need no stink'n Mustang II in there.
