steering box



There can be many reasons for the car "wondering".  One of them is worn out and
loose upper control arm bushings.  If that's the case, the peoblem will be more
pronounced at highway speeds, especially when the car moves up and down due to
road irregularities.

large screw as I recall on the upper part of the steering box.  Again, from
memory, there is a nut you have to loosen, and then with a large flathead screw

get the gears a bit closer together.  If the steering effort gets too tight, or
the steering does not return back to the straight ahead position, you tightned
too much and you need to back off.  If this adjustment does not help, your
upper C.A. bushings need replacement (assuming that your ball joints and wheel
bearings are good, if you don't know how to check those, ask).
