I just finished mine up yesterday. Check your steering box adjustment, the nut can loosen up and the follower can back out....it doesn't take much to loosen it up a lot. I did new tie rod ends and heim joints, and adjusted the steering box. I also did what John Hall did, bored out the steering lever (the piece mounted in the rear of the axle) and installed an oilite bushing with a hole for the grease zerk.....I also made a new pin for it since the original was worn quite a bit. The only play in my steering is the axle now, it moves a tiny tiny bit before the wheel starts to move. It used to have almost half a turn, the steering lever moved at least 3/4" up and down in the axle before any wheel movement.
