Good Morning...I think David Packard (he may or may not be a shirt tail relative) of the Packard Boys...has the best answer...sometimes it is hard to find the loose part on the hoist...you might consider having someone turn the wheel while you lay under the front of the car for a bit and look for a joint that is not moving as you would expect. Something is loose! Just trace the entire system from the steering box and pitman arm all the way to the wheel bearings...wheel bearings are not expensive and if they have a lot of wear and not much greece...even they can be the problem...David lives a few blocks from me and I consider him a much respected old car dude!
