Ken,
My steering box experience is similar to your own: I've "rebuilt"
(re-sealed) 2-3 and centered my own, but that's about it. I do remember
that Stoddard used to sell a "high ratio/fast" box with, IIRC 16:1 steering
ratio (vs I know not what OEM). Surely that would have had the standard
stops to avoid A-arm, and other, damage. My suspicion is that the 2.5
turns box is one of those high ratio boxes. Since the wander problem
occurs on-center, I would not expect the ratio change to be a major
contributor -- but I sure don't KNOW.
With all the work Brian's reported on everything else, I'd sure be
tempted to try an OEM box.
