Oh yeah, and make sure the tires are fully inflated.

Thanks Terry
I do think the car has been neglected in the lubrication department, and can be GREATLY improved with proper Inspection, cleaning, and lubrication, however, I do appreciate short pitman arm idea. This wouldn't be too far from stock.
They can be bought?
