I have a 89 Mustang GT 5.0 automatic vert with some strange steering problems. I wanted to ask yall if yall had any better idea what was going on. Basically, what it amounts to is I have to turn the steering wheel farther to get it to turn at all. I checked the car in park and more or less to turn left the steering wheel is in the 9-8 o' clock position before the wheels even begin to turn. The same goes for turning right. I checked fluid levels and everything is normal. The slop in the steering while driving amounts to 10-2 o'clock before the car make any noticable change in direction. I jacked up the car front drivers side and checked for slop in the wheel and had an inch either way. This is the same side I replaced an inner tie rod not more than 9 months ago. I checked the opposite side as well and found slightly less than 1/4 inch slop either way. The wheel itself is not hard to turn like in a power steering pump failer situation. It feels normal other than the excessive turning required. Any thoughts as to what the problem may be? TIA.
