Re: Steeing Play - How Much?
Its more a measurement of torque applied at the steering wheel. Adjustment and allowable inch pounds of force are detailed in Motors/Haynes manuals. Don't have em with me.
If its got riveted on upper ball joints, they are originals and I'd start with a suspension ovehaul before worryin about the steering box and its adjustments. If the suspension is worn you can adjust the steering box till its nearly jammed tight and it won't make a difference in safe driveability. From there, you'll get it realigned and the pro can opine whether or not to adjust or replace the box and/or rag joint during the alignment. The majority of that drift in turns is going to be in the total suspension package, start by evaluating that and work your way up and back to the steering wheel.
