Checked the wheel bearings, they were good. Rag joint was new with the steering box swap. Tie rods aren't new but had no play when I replaced the drag link along with the idler. Alignment shop didn't note anything either
Bearings in the steering shaft don't have any play either. I will double check all that this weekend just for good measure because I did have the column apart and the bolt at the outside firewall was a little loose when I disassembled it.
It feels like I can move it 2-3 fingers worth at 30 MPH without it affecting the direction. Sort of like the old farm truck my grandpa had when I learned to drive a stick. I know it will never be as tight as a rack but it should still be at least as good as say a Grand National.
