Cindy,

Welcome to the list & Happy Birthday! ;-)

Best bet is to find a local roadster specialist. 

A few things come to mind:

Steering Box Free play (easily adjusted, but do not over tighten the 
       adjustment stud).
Tie Rod Ends
Balls joints 
Upper A-Arm bolts.

One thing is to have a friend turn the steering wheel back and
forth (key in the column, engine off!). Look for anything that
seems to be moving "in an odd direction".

You might want to post what city you are in, as there are a few
other roadster owners up in Wisconsin.

Cheers,

Tom Walter
Austin, TX
