damn. don't think i bled my steering properly, from 12 o'clock if i turn it right it gets really hard at about the 1-2 o'clock position then gets easier again. also find myself overcorrecting on right turns and find myself still kind of nudging the wheel while going straight to keep it going where i want it to, probably because of the eyeballed alignment and toe adjustment i did more than anythint else though.

I’ve decided I’m just gonna keep the car. Fuck it, I’ve been wanting to fix the rust for ages now anyways and now I have the space and time. Gonna do a full non smog build on it and just sell it or keep it if the law happens to change in the next couple of years or if I move

Steering will bleed itself in a couple full lock turns.
Is it a steering box with recirculating balls?
