I had my front axle on my 58 replaced because of the slop. I got the replacement axle from Tuckers Classic parts in Henderson NV. They supposedly got it from there bone yard in AZ. Every thing on my front steering has been replaced. Heavy duty (1inch diam tie rod)new tie rod ends, aftermarket power steering and power disc brakes on front only. I am running stock 15 inch 6 lug wheels with radial tires. The springs are good with all new bushings. As of right now I am not quite happy with the steering. Lots of play in steering wheel(stock) and wonder from side to side going down road. My next approach is to toe in some more and a 6 degree caster shim. Right now it looks like a 2 degree shim is installed. As for my straight axle I like it, but but I don't like what it's doing. If anybody has a solution to the wondering and drifting , please let me know. And yes I have checked the toe in.
