I've finally tracked down that the main source of my steering vagueness is indeed the steering box itself. I can twist the steering shaft and see it move right at the box, but not any movement of the pitman arm at all.
So I have a couple questions:
1. how do I adjust the steering box? isn't there a way to tighten it up a bit? how temporary is this fix, and what are the odds that my not-exactly-rust-free car will even allow me to get these 27 year old fittings to move to adjust it? Is this even worth messing with? I have over an inch of more or less free play at the steering wheel.
2. I wanna avoid the messing around with custom lines for a 98-02 box. Is there a drop-in upgraded box over a civi-spec 1985 version? Are there any quality issues with rebuilt stuff?
