Sloppy Steering

[Mark McDonald <tomswift@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks, it's me again.  :)

Spring is here so I've got the '68 convertible out and I've been driving
it around, and I've noticed that the steering is really sloppy.  By that
I mean it has a lot of play in it-- you can move the wheel a lot before
you start to change directions.

I've tried tightening up the little nut on the steering box, and that
does seem to increase the resistance, or the strength needed, to turn
the wheel, but does not take out the play.

I am thinking I need a new steering box to really fix this problem.
Opinions?

Also, is there one brand that is better than others, in terms of
rebuilds?  (I assume you can't get a new one.)  My local parts house can
get me a rebuilt one by Cardone.

Thanks, Mark
