Thanks Randall - It's certainly possible there is some frame damage
(there are scars), but thankfully the fulcrum pin has no movement!
I'll try loosening the steering box per the suggestions and also look
into removing it entirely to rebuild, although at this point I hadn't
planned on it, not really knowing what's involved in rebuilding it. What
parts are likely to need replacing, and how involved is the rebuilding
process?
Thanks again,
