Larry Schramm Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Just a suggestion on hard steering is to think about the wheel alignment. Many hard steering issues are corrected/improved by getting the correct alignment. Also make sure that all of the front end parts are not worn and the tire pressures are correct. Just some thoughts.

buick5563 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Welcome aboard SteelKnight.I remember reading about that car earlier. If I recall correctly, the car is not stock so some of the normal suggestions you receive may not apply. For instance, if the engine and transmission have been changed, they may be heavier than original.If I am not right, please forgive me, and follow directions from the Pre-War folk.

Guest Straight eight Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 There is always Molygrease for lubing all the fittings. It is like millions of tiny ball bearings reducing friction in the moving front end parts. It is available at most farm equipment stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
