Are you sure steering column and box are working properly?

I'm not sure I've read it all either Ron. But I'm still not understanding how tight ball joints = fishtailing all over the road and can't go more than 35mph? Help me understand just in case I purchase a bay window bus.....

Rick, is all the suspension stock stuff or did the PO do something to mess with the geometry?

The balljoints are binding, when you turn it to the left a little to correct, it doesn't return to center, it doesn't return at all. Then you have to turn to the right and it stays there. Then it is back and forth left then sticks, right and it sticks, back and forth then you are fishtailing all over. The balljoints they used were VW/AUDI. The tierods are fine, not loose not too tight. The drag link is good also. The only issue, other than balljoints, the center pivot has a little movement up. The suspension is all stock as far as I know.
