Overhauled steering gear is Binding Help.....

[Marshall V. Daut]

One final thing to check, Joe: Ensure that the toe-in (front end alignment) is within specifications. If the adjustment has too much toe-out, that will contribute to hard steering. If too much toe-in, the car will act squirrely and dart all over the road. You've come this far tracking down steering problems. Finish up by making sure the front end alignment is correct: 1/32" - 3/32" toe-IN. Check repair manuals how to adjust the toe-in or watch videos on-line. You'd be surprised how much difference in steering and driving enjoyment can be felt just by changing the front end alignment!
