Old Big Girl has some play in the steering. I took the adjusting screw out of the box, cleaned it real good, made sure all the threads were good, oiled it and put it back in. I then tightened it down snug, and put the lock nut back on. It didn't seem to help much, it still has about 2" free travel before it starts to turn. I know it should have some free travel, but 2" seems a little much. No slack in cross rod or tie rod. Is it I'm just used to power steering, and have forgotten how an old manual steering feels? Or is there some way to get it a bit tighter? [S I'll probably be going with a GM power box this winter, so I can keep what I have for a while, I 'd just like a little better road feel, it seems like it is just in a dead zone unless you keep rocking the wheel.
