    I have a little bit of play in my steering wheel on my
    69 GT-350. My mechanic says that it is my Power
    Steering Slave Cylinder that needs replaced. Does
    this sound correct? If so, does anyone have
    suggestions on where to purchase a rebuilt or new one?
    Anything else to replace at the same time?

    Thanks,

    Tom

    Tom; It has been my experience that you will end up rebuilding all of the
    steering components, and then still have play in your steering. The culprit
    usually turns out to be the joint inside the tilt column. Check the play in
    the column by having someone hold the pitman arm, while you try to turn the
    steering wheel. More than likely, there will be play. Very few cars have
    tight tilt columns. I can recommend a person in San Jose, CA who can
    rebuild it, although I have heard mixed reviews on the workmanship. Let's
    see if anyone else on the forum has had that same experience, and has a
    solution. Hope this "steers" you in the right direction!
