I drove the 84 one day last week, I don't drive it enough but I always enjoy it. I rebuilt the front suspension a few years ago, probably less than 3kmi on it, but the steering box is loose and does not respond quickly to helm input and wanders a bit. I looked into how to tighten it up a bit, guess I need to give that a try. I have another box I pulled off the 420SEL I dissassembled, no idea if that would be any better but I guess I could try it if tightening this one doesn't work.
I believe checking the torque at center and off center would give you an idea of how much wear is on the SEL box, and you can adjust it off the car while doing that.
