Driving my car today and it was sloppy. The suspension is fairly new but I have the same old steering box. I was wondering if I should get a steering box rebuild or flaming river or if there is a rack conversion I will look for other issues such as torsion bar preload and the ladder bars may not be neutral as this time Details. 68 roadrunner 3400 lbs Ladder bar suspension
Currently big block torsion bars and afco front shocks

Thanks.
Cab. It is a 68 satellite Skinny tires in front Drag radials out back Ladder bars
I need double check the preload on the right ladder bar It might be pushing the car left
But I will check the items you guys suggested.

Car looks amazing.
Thought I remembered it being supercharged or some such?

You can try tightening the worm shaft if nothing else is loose Just go slow here. Tighten it a little and run it lock to lock with drag on the wheels. Tighten some more... When you feel a hard spot, back off to last known setting.
