Hi integrated . . . yup. Before installing the engine I rebuilt the steering gear. There was a lot of slop that had me thinking that I would need to redo everything. Which had eyeing the full rebuild kit$. But upon closer inspection during tear down I found that only three items really needed replacement - the Idler Arm shaft/bearings - the lower outer control arm shafts and the tie rods. Everything else was tight and running smoothly. These few items coupled with the Steering Sector adjustments from the Shop Manual removed all the slop and play. While it was all apart and de-greased I got a coat of POR15 and some chassis paint on it.
Thanks to all for the words of encouragement.
regards,
