> > It feels like there is a sponge in my steering linkage. > > Have you checked the rubber coupling in the steering shaft? Yes, the steering shaft from steering wheel into the box is very solid. When I had my head underneath the car while rotating the shaft I noticed that the trailing arm was visibly moving up and down before engaging in a side to side, making me again suspicious of the roller shaft adjustment [which was then adjusted]. the worm spindle adjuster accepted the pivot bolt from the handle of my cheapo harbor freight rolling floor jack quite nicely by the way, I think *that* was freed with a 15/16th wrench strangely enough. I don't think fussing with the worm gear did any good. My steering has been tightened up nicely, but the car does not return to an absolute center [close], so it looks like I need to back off the adjustment before putting it back into daily service.
