[jollygrngiant]

hey whats going on fellas! i have a 91 bronco and think i might have a problem. i was doing my regular maintenance on her when i noticed that the steering shaft was moving while i had the misses turn the steering wheel. is this normal? or am i in a worl of s&*t. i've also noticed that while im driving, it feels like im driving drunk. i've checked the tre and drag links and they are good to go. it seems that my ball joints are worn out,but im not to sure.cratchhe: any help will be appreciated. :notworthy:

thanks,

jorge

Have you worked on your front axle? Be sure to check all the lock nuts and bolts. You'd be surprised on how much a loose or tight nut would make.
Also, check all your bushings. I would replace any that looked badly cracked or weathered. I replaced all my bushings in the front at one time and that made a huge difference. I too had the same problem with the "wandering" or "play" in the steering wheel.
Or it may be none of this. It may be your steering box itself. Do you have a stock box or have you upgraded?
