Did you notice a considerably better driving experience with less play and steering walk?

Yes! my truck wandered all over the road before I embarked on rebuilding the front end. Its usually a combination of multiple worn parts not any one specific thing that causes wander. The truck is now enjoyable to drive again!

Ride engineered baby, well I think Ford did the best back then. And even with all those worn parts, a rode hard Town Car still had better ride integrity than the counterpart Cadillac of the same torture.
I was in my 20's and after the rebuild I would dart in out of traffic like it was a honda civic. Was night and day, I tell ya....
