Thanks for the explanation guys. I was waiting for the reason to be that I needed a valve overhaul. Actually it is turning out to be a blessing because it makes me use either hand instead of my left only. One last thing to ask you experts is can a front axle that does not have bushings for the spindles be bored out and bushings added? The only slop or play that I have left is in that area and I would like to fix it if it can be done cheaply. My old 1811 axle has bushings and it would seem that the only issue would be getting the spindle holes bored out. What do you think? Also, why does my steering wheel turn the wheels when the engine is not on? Where does the connection between the steering wheel and the spindle come from?
