I HAVE A MUSTANG II ON MY 62 WILLIS WAGON THAT JUST BOUGHT AND IT FEELS FUNNY WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, FEELS AS IF IT GRABS AND IS NOT A SMOOTH TURN. IS IT BAD?

Are the steering shafts moving freely and not binding up?

F.Y.I. I had a strange feel with a Must II in my 39 Chevy sedan. Felt like a bind? Couldn't find it. Problem was the outer tie rod was touch the front sway bar, but whenever I jacked up the car (no lift) the suspension would "hang" and everthing seemed to clear. The car was toooo looow to see under when on the pavement. Took a while to pinpoint. I was sure it was the steering joints....it wasn't. Good luck.
PS I have also had a reman rack with a bind, right out of the box!

Check for excessive U-joint angles and if possible see if you can put the car on a drive-on front end lift and look to see whats going on an ride height. A front end rack should have wheel pivots so the tires don't scrub the lift. I missed a problem on my 56 Ford on a regular lift. The previous owner swapped the tie rod assemblies end to end and created an interference under compression while turning.
