front suspension fixed!!

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.

Awesome.. Ive been trying to figure out what to do to firm up the handling of my car. Going from my tight handling Legacy GT to my Stang its like night an day..

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.
