1940 - 110 Steering Question

1940 - 110 Steering Question

I have never been exactly happy with the way the car steered and there seems to be a lot of slop or movement of what I think is called Steering Crank and Ball Stud Assembly, looks like Group 15.100 item 324041.

Any suggestion as to how much up and down movement should be expected at the end that connects with the inner tie rod ends? It seems like the end moves up and down at least an inch when the steering wheel is turned.

What part should I be looking at first, Crank, Ball Stud or Bearings?

Thanks Jim

for the end under the radiator, 341162 - there should be NO up and down movement. at the drag link end, remove the drag link to inspect the cups and springs and condition of the ball stud. This is a fairly tight rotating connection, there will be movement, but not looseness. Add some fresh tie rod ends while you're at it, they're cheap and probably worn out.
