It doesn't need it but does it have an MOT? Sounds as if your Amazon knowledge is rather limited so an MOT will let you know how the car is faring. Your description of the steering sounds as if the box is adjusted too tight. Don't try to adjust out the side to side play at the steering wheel. Even when new the play is about 1" to either side and a worn box, they are all rather old now, can double that. You get used to it! The steering boxes are also very prone to having a leaking lower oil seal. This can quite quickly relieve the box of its contents. Use SAE90 the same as the back axle even though the book says SAE80.
