Yeah, more body roll. You know.. kinda that floaty feeling those old cars have.
Alrighty.... sway bar..... monte carlo bar... I see them both on ebay.

Oh yea, if you got body roll those are the things to buy. Also the rear sway and subframe connectors. You would be amazed at the stiffness of it after those things. Just the monte carlo bar works wonders, and they're cheap. OH YEAH, a new EXPORT BRACE will help too. Get rid of those flimsy braces.

If you still want to look at tighting the steering box ie the steering wheel you can search the past threads I know that was discused several months ago and someone had a step by step to adjusting it.

Get rid of rubber in your suspension.
Adjustable length strut rods with heim joints, roller spring perches and roller idler arm will tighten up your suspension and allow pieces like Monte Carlo bars, larger front sway bars and Koni shocks to work at their ultimate potential.

On tightening the steering box:
1. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left as far as you can
2. Loosen the retaining nut on the top of the steering box
3. Use a blade screwdriver and turn the bolt clockwise until it bottoms out.
4. Back off a bit just until you can feel it barely rub when someone else turns the steering wheel.
5. Retighten the retaining nut.
