Gav, I just finished going through my steering box on my 49 Super A. It dont make me an expert, but here is what I found. I originally thought that I had excessive backlash between my steering worm and worm sector, my first was wrong. After I disconnected my tierods from the steering arm I only had about a 1/8" of movement side to side. I asked Hugh McKay his opinion on that and he felt that was very acceptable. Were I was getting all of my play was the arm that connects to the right spindle, someone had at one time broken the end of the tapered bolt off that goes into the top of that spindle, so even though they put in a new tapered bolt that control arm was loose. To make a long story short, check your backlash, check amount of clearance between sector shaft and the bottom bushing. By the way there is only one bushing, the top of that shaft rides in a ball bearing. Oh yeah, replace both seals and use grease as someone else mentioned. Hope this helps. scotty
