It is pretty hard to get all of the free play out of these older frontends but the idler bushings and adjusting the stearing box should help, when you tighten the adjustment on the box be gental with it, if you over do it it can cause a binding feeling but you can always back it off a little.
back when these cars were new a little play,about 1/2 to 3/4", was pretty much normal and accepted but when you are used to the newer stuff it is uncomfortable, that is why I decided to go with rack and pinion in my 57 project. Of course that is a drastic modification and not for every one.
