help with sloppy steering

crazeinc · Dec 24, 2003

Hey guys, I just picked up a '78 Ford Fairmont. I know these are stang boards, but they share the same chassis. My steering wheel has a lot of slop in it (you can turn in a few inches from center in either direction without it moving the wheels). Is this an adjustment at the steering box, or something else?

Thanks,
PJ

You will probably get better help from the 5.0 [FOX] forum as they were
based on the the Fairmont chassis.
Almost all suspension components are interchangeable.

Good luck
Merry christmas

He was hoping it was a II based car.

Wishful thinking guy, your stuck with the generic FoxStang boards. Not the Ultra Cool II board.

First thing to check would be the rag joint, though.

And actually, the steering rack on the Fairmont and Fairstang are very similar to the MII anyway...

This is the rag joint.
