First off i have searched and googled for about 2 weeks now on things and I have a few questions.
I feel like the steering wheel is to loose, and i am trying to find the problem as I don't have the money to just replace everything.
1. Is there a proper way to check the steering box and see if the "slop" is within spec? I know that there are some adjustment bolts on it.
2. I can see that some of the slop is from the k-member flex, are there any DIY fixes for this or do i need to shell out the $130+ for the Firm Feel bracket?
3. The car has some high speed float/ instability in my opinion i have read that more caster can help that and i plan on putting in the offset/eccentric UCA bushings. Will that cause any issue in getting a slightly negative camber? Currently it has an obvious positive camber which obviously doesn't help with handling even if it worked for old poly tires
if it does need a new steering box, can those be removed with headers on?
