    thats common with the 605 box,most guys today go with the 500 box elimates play and is much tighter,feels like a new car. I made the switch 2 months ago from the 605 to the 500,the 605 is too easy to turn the 500 takes a little more effort and seems to turn shorter

    I thought the 605 was kind of an outdated steering box. Aren't most guys using the 500 now? I don't know much about them since I have a corvette steering rack in my car.
