    Excessive play in steering wheel

    I was looking at the rebuild kits from PST. they offer them in poly or the OEM rubber bushings. They are around 400 depending on how much you get. I'll shop around to find more places.

    Excessive play in steering wheel

    My steering wheel has about a 1/8 turn in both directions play in it. What would cause that? The steering box? Also I currently have a slant six in the car with a 360 on the side that I'm trying to rebuild...would the steering box need to be changed when I swap in the 360? Thanks in advance for...
