my new 83 fb

just got the insurance and temp permit on my fb, and finally got to drive it on the road for the first time (parking lot just isn't the same), all i can say is damn, i'm in love, its a huge improvement over what i had before (85 dodge colt). only problem is that whenever i go around a corner under power i get a fair bit of vibration from the front of the car. just wondering if you had any ideas, i was thinking it was the idler arm bushings, but if they were gone would it have that kind of effect. also i was wonderig if there was anyway of adjusting the steering box, i'm getting a fair bit of play out of the steering wheel.
thanks in advance
steve
