Thank you gents.

Lost: were you able to buy a replacement bushing, or did you have to make one? Mine appears to be some sort of plastic gizmo but I haven't got a good look at it yet.

Gaz, I appreciate what you are saying. If I make a hard left turn and then go straight, and release the wheel, the car will continue to track straight ahead or sometimes drift left. If I make a hard right turn then go straight then release the wheel, the car will drift right pretty much every time. No lock ups thank goodness. I still haven't ruled out tie rod ends but I was able to eliminate ball joints yesterday. I'd order tie rod ends but it appears there are many different shapes out there with different tapers so I'm kinda unsure how to proceed in that regard.

I tried to drop the steering box yesterday but was unsuccessful so I still haven't been able to isolate the box from the steering shaft.

Best regards,
