Go through the steering box and tighten it up, replace parts where needed, like the cam follower, and add the "super steer" bearing kit as well.
And adjust the toe in as directed in the FSM so it steers nice and straight with minimal steering effort. You will be glad you did first time you drive it out the door.
Nothing better than to mount a "restored " Cub and have it steer as it did when new, nice 'n' tight like a German virgin.

So Far so good!
What do you mean by tighten up the front axle C channel?
I didn't plan on replacing the tie rod ends, pivot pin, or bushings, but I will now.
I was already planning on going through the steering box.
