Thanks 3B I kinda thought I needed to do something like that. I obviously have not messed with a steering box before.
I was told by somone that I should plan on replacing the sector shaft bushings while I'm at it....I duno' maybe I should try to rebuild the box...or do you think I can get away with tightening it up and putting in new sector shaft berings? I even got the part number for the berings, which apparently you can still get at the Chevy parts counter.
