Subject:      steering question

Hello all,

The steering on my '85 feels a bit vague.  I've gone underneath while my son
moves the steering wheel back and forth an inch or two.  It seems that the
tie rods at first move toward the front and back of the van, instead of
moving in and out (which would move the wheels).

My front end guy says that power steering is inherently less precise than
non-power (my '84 is rock solid and goes exactly where I point it).  I can
accept this, but I think the '85 has gotten noticeably less precise over the
last year or two.

I'm taking the van in tomorrow for him to look at, and wanted to get a
couple opinions before I go in.
