Re:wild steering o.d. in and out

Your steering problem is probably a worn out idler arm, quite common problem. The shifting problem can be fixed for about 2 cents with a cotter pin and 20 min of your time with a volt meter. I will try and post pics soon. Any good front end shop should be able to help with your steering. Good luck.

Check the steering box mounting bracket. It is common for this bracket to come loose as it is held with only 3 bolts. I tack welded the bracket to the frame on my '84 Sno Commander.
