How did you check the steering gear? You need two people to check it. Disconnect the drag link and have some one turn the steering wheel as you hold onto the pitman arm and check for play. I'll bet its sloppy and needs adjustment.. If so be sure and do as the owners manual says.

The pitman arm may be oval shaped, the tierod ends may be loose, the worm and sector in the steering box may be out of adjustment. I have seven Auburns sans radial tires and they all go straight down the road.

1935 ,851, while driving car drifts from one side of the lane then to the other side of the lane. Steering gear seems OK. can this be from misalignment.
What's the 1" tube from the steering gear to front wheel. It has springs at both ends.
Could this be to loose.?
Thanks,
Paul Pustay

I agree with Curt.
That being said though the specs I believe are in the owner's manual and when I had our car done 8 to 9 years ago they put it on a Hunter System and the specs were on the fellows disk for his machine. A good race shop should be able to figure car out.

1/8 toe in.
If the car doesn't go into the 'death wobble leave the caster alone.

Any one know the specs for an alignment?
Is there any camper adjustment or just toe in?
