Center link? A Willy's MB has a more sophisticated steering system - there's a long link between the pitman arm and right wheel and a shorter link off the long link to the left wheel. Not a symmetrical setup with idler arm like is common on MBs. Everything downstream of the pitman arm was installed new in June.

I've been surfing ford-trucks.com. I'll get deep into a topic then someone will clarify they're talking about a '68 truck

After having the work done, was it aligned? Also, someone mentioned the adjustment in the steering box...be careful if you start adjusting it. Too tight, and you'll break the worm gear, too loose and you have no steering.

The front suspension on these things are screwy, to say the least. No matter what you do, the wander will always be there.
