    scary steering

    I have a non-power steering 65 mustang. latly the steering has acting strange. sometimes it works fine, others it gets harder to turn it and the wheel will not turn back after i turn the car. I know some of the bushings are going bad under there, but is this a sign of a bad steering box?
