I would start by continuing to clean parts as you go. Replace EVERY perishable part as you go. Anything with rubber bushings or covers and of course the steering rag joint. As HB said tie rod ends are fairly cheap and easy to find (Rockauto.com) and ball joints are a piece of cake with the a-arms on the bench. Pick a point and start there, focusing on everything attached to that point. Start at the front, start at the back, it doesn’t matter, just start. Clean prime and paint removed parts prior to reinstalling them. Before you know it you will be happily bouncing down the road with a big😠on your face. Happy trucking.ðŸ›
