Re: 1940 Packard 110 Coupe - Steering:

I had some improvement on my 110 sedan after a couple of thorough greasing of all the zerks on the front end (do tem all while your at it). Do it yourself and get the list of lubrication fittings from the owners manual. The reason a say couple of greasings is that it may take that many to get fresh grease into the fittings. Doing this gave me significant improvement in steering. It's much cheaper too.

My original problem was that I couldn't set a constant course from the steering wheel while driving. I had to correct constantly to the left, then back to the right. Four greasings and 500 miles of driving. I can't say that I still don't have to pay attention to where I'm pointing the car at --- after all, it is a 70 plus year old automobile.
