I just got this Ford. I got an issue fixin the little issues and driving it down the road get a wobble when cursing at 35 no where else, yet. Its not a vibration but the steering wheal bounces back and forth. Slow down and goes away and gun it past 35 and cruse at 40 and doesn't happen. So to the suspension experts here, ideas?

Lay under it and have someone turn the wheel and start looking for the loose spot. I bet its that short little link in the steering next to the frame. Those cars had terrible steering. It doesn't drift at speed?

once I get it cleaned up a little I will be putting up the pictures. I will get under there and have the guy turn it. are you talking about the ball joint over by the frame rail

I would say inspect ANY pivot point/ball joint unit. Its probably high enough on the ground where you can do it w/o it in the air. With weight on the front wheels, you'll see slop quicker. If nothing is Visually bad, I put my hand right on the pivot points and have someone wiggle the steering back and forth. You may feel it before seeing it.

Yep, there should be like a 10" or so link on it with a funky curved arm if I remember. That thing is always loose and about to fall off. Lol.

I would leave the car on the ground to do it, the cars weight holds the tires still and someone turns the wheel, the sloppy spot will be evident.
