Steering problem
1984 Ford E-Series Van V8 Automatic

I just bought this 1984 Ford E150 Econoline van and the steering is extremely loose. I have been told by a friend that it is the steering column. The faster I go the worse it gets. I have tried calling around to some local auto repair shops to try and get a quote and they are quoteing between $200-$800...that's a pretty big price window. I need to knmow if you guys agree with my friends diagnosis and if you might be able to pin down a better price range for me. HELP!!!!!

Actually, I doubt the column is the problem, but rather steering components or the actuall steering gear. Have you check steering parts?
