my car used to wander alot on the highway and on the street, i aligned like 10 times last year and it always seemed to steer itself, well i bought urethanr front control arm bushings and steeda ball joints and it feels like a brand new car...now everything in the front is urethane, i only need a solid steering shaft to fix the slightplay in the steering, its not that stiff of a ride, just feels WAY BETTER.

If it's what I think it is, you don't want a solid steering shaft. At least, not for safety reasons. A solid shaft would not collapse in a severe accident, and go through YOU. I saw a picture somewhere of a 60's Mustang, with the steering wheel pushed up through the roof. Not good.

If you haven't done so already, there's two u-joints on the steering column. One where the steering shaft connects to the rack, and the other under the dash. In my 'Stang, the one under the dash was a bit loose; I tighened up the bolts, and the play was gone.
