Since I have the engine out of the car, now would be a good time to tackle a problem i'd been havin with the steering. At speeds of 60+, the car seemed to steer itself around moderate curves. It didn't feel overly jumpy and was fine at low speeds, but it freaked me out when the car would oversteer more than i knew it should, or begin to turn before I move the steering wheel. There is also a bit of freeplay when initially turning the wheel. My friend told me I have a broken power steering bracket????? but this car never had power steering. WTF?? BTW, I drive an 85 GS if that makes any difference

 

There could be a number of issues. But, first I would adjust the steering box. See the write up by bobrx7 on the mazspeed.com site. Second replace the idler arm bushing (I think that is the name of it) it is right by the exhaust and tends to get burned up. Third replace all the bushings on the front end with poly. Fourth have the front end aligned.
See what happens.
