1989 E350 7.3 IDI testing

after a first test drive uphill around 200 km the engine leak a lot of diesel from the injector's body i mean a LOT

i change all the return lines and the O rings in the injectors , new glow plugs also
now the engine is working very fine , no diesel leak , cold start is ok
i just have to work in steering and suspension now
steering have a little play , no vibration , just go side to side easily
i check roads ends , pitman link , kingpins and is all fine
adjust the steering box also
i think i need an steering stabilizer and new shock absorvers

somebody have an 1989 E350 that can help me with some pictures please? here is not much common to see one of these


here some pictures from the 2nd test drive , 500 km no more problems than the steering
