For the longest time I've had some play in my steering. Enough to notice but not cause a problem going down the road. Like you see in the movies (old movies) where you move the steering wheel back and forth while driving straight, I can do this without impacting the direction of the vehicle.
Tie rods have been replaced as well as suspension pieces. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and solved it. I was thinking that maybe it was in the gear box.
I've removed the steering wheel linkage in the engine bay, thinking the rag joint may be shot, but it looks to be in perfect condition.
With my engine out, I'd planned on taking the gear box apart, replacing the O-Rings at least, getting a reman'd if needed.
