My 74 had worn that pivot joint out on the valve. It can be repaired , but all the trouble to take the valve out , might as well just replace it as it was original to the car. I had no other suspension issues either. I have new frt springs ( best money I every spent) and new GM shocks. It handles probally 95% now good as new . No slop or play.
I did for good measure for my car , oh maybe 8 years ago sent my steering box off to BAIRS COrvettes in PA , wasn't very expensive and was pretty easy to take in and out myself. and they rebuilt it and I replaced the rag joint. They do good work.
