At low speeds, say less than 40.. Steering is fine, nothing weird. However at speeds around say 60-80mph the steering feels loose in the center. I feel that I'm making more "steering corrections" than I should be. I feel that the center is a bit too loose/spongy/gapped..

The tie rods are relatively new compared to the rest of the steering system. To my knowledge the center drag link, idler arm bushing, and steering box have not been replaced/adjusted. I'm at just about 226,000 now.

I was considering replacing the center drag link and gear box but I figured I'd see what more knowledgeable folks had to say.
