    If your steering feels loose and perhaps the vehicle wanders a bit with a constant need for correction, you might look at the swivel balls/Railko bushes.

    The resistance to rotation on these, using a spring balance is quoted at 12-14 lbs. The procedure is in the book under Operation F1-10.

    I'd also check the steering box is tightly secured - but you'll find out more if you do as suggested, ie jack up the vehicle, turn the steering wheel and look for unusual movement or the lack of it.

    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

    If you're talking about adjusting the swivel resistance, this scan from the Repair Operation manual, may help you -
