Well I took my 31 coupe down the road yesterday after getting the brakes pretty darn good ( if I say so myself ) , but I didn't go very far , there is so much play in the steering I was afraid of darting into the other lane for a head on . The guy told me the steering box was rebuilt , and I still think it might have been , but if it was like the brakes ( all rebuilt also ) you can't just bolt on new parts and expect them to preform like new , I have looked at how to adjust the steering box , but I'm not sure where to start , which adjustment should be addressed first , what am I looking for ? , there was also a terrible vibration in the drivetrain , but that is for another post , after the steering fix .
