I agree with Dave (Owen) on the steering. There are lots of things that can cause play in the steering. Basically is the front end is off the ground, you should see the front wheels move as soon at the steering wheel turns.

If someone holds the steering wheel firm, and you can can move the front wheels then you may have play in the steering linkage/suspension/box etc. You should not be able to turn the steering wheel without the front wheels moving and vice versa.

Make sure the steering box has fluid in it. Also there is an adjustment on the top of the steering box which can be used to take up any play in the steering box gearing. Download the service manual for more information.
