keiser31 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 A good front end alignment will probably do the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 What do you mean "drift in the steering"? Play in the wheel? Things affecting play in the wheel are steering box adjustment, steering box wear and steering componentry wear. Drag link ends, tie rod ends, king pin wear, loose wheel bearings. Not affecting play in the wheel are front end alignment - camber, castor and toe in. There is some adjustment available for steering box wear, but not much: column up-down, sector shaft in-out, sector shaft up-down. The how-to is in your Instruction Book. If you need the instructions I can post them for you from the Dodge 8 Instruction Book (which will work if you have a Gemmer box). I am sure they have been posted before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
