I have my steering box out and am inspecting the steering coupler. The car had a lot of play in the steering, but the box, center link, and tie rods were all pretty loose, so I'm not sure the coupler is at fault.   I can move the steering coupler up, down, left and right pretty freely. Is that normal? It feels loose to me, but when I put some vice grips on the end and turn it until I hit the steering lock in the column, I don't feel any play. I'm inclined to just put everything back together

salty fog pretty much eats away cars.   looks like I got some metal work to do.   http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8243/8542550059_267583f625.jpg
