First I'd suggest you check to see where the slop is, i.e. the coupler, box-the mounting bolts can loosen up, and even cause flexing on the K member. I didn't notice any problems with my stage 2 box , but have replaced 3 idler arms after installation. I've got 255/50-17s on the front of my barracuda, with a late K-member IIRC '75.




Agreed, check the steering gearbox to K-member bolts. If you are running sticky tires with the fast ratio pitman arms it will work the box loose if you don't have the K-member reinforced. I run sticky 245/45/17's on my challenger with the FF box and the T/A fast ratio steering and had to tighten it up periodically. Its not a problem though if you aren't running the sticky tires and pushing it hard though.

Someone here or on another list had loose steering gear bolts recently. He thought they were fine and he checked them. But he went back and spotted the loose ones.
