Hi guys. I took her out for another test drive, this is what I discovered:
Going really slow 0-6mph everything is nice and tight.
Going 6-18mph its kind of like driving a boat.
Going 18- it is pretty close to perfect.

I couldnt do an alignment today because of rain. But it seamed like it just (except for 6-18mph) just needed to breakin.

I also had the neighboor turn the wheel while I inspected everything. Its all tight except for one-or both- of the u-joints on the rod from the steering wheel down to the steering box.

How do I change them? Where do I get them? Do you think rockauto.com has them?
