If the slight "sway" is the only reason for replacing the steering box, - I
would check the adjustment on it first.
If someone has (inadvertantly of course) "overtightened" the adjustment
screw on the box, - what you describe is exactly what will happen.
I would loosen the nut, and back the allen screw out a bit, then go out and
see how it drives. You might be (pleasantly) surprised.

Subject: IML: Steering Box for 1962
Hello from Boston.
I just purchased a 1962 Imperial Custom Southampton. The seller states
this car needs a rebuilt steering box. The car steers okay, with a slight
sway left to right, right to left, at lower speeds. He does not recommend
trying to drive the car above 55 mph until the steering box has been
replaced.
Suggestions?
Thanks.
