I adjusted the play out on the steering box. It was pretty loose. Steering is much better now, no play in the steering wheel now.

The rest of the issue is more than likely with the front end alignment. So that next on the list. Once that is squared then I may need to pull off the stwering wheel and recenter it if the alignment doesn't square it. I've had the wheel off several times over the years and they was so much slop it's possible it's not in the exact correct position.

Also I've discovery my floor jack is reached EOL. It still lifts fine, but the release had become treacherous. It either goes down slowly as normal or suddenly falls. Yeah, not even going to mess with that anymore.


So what did you do to adjust the steering box? I need to do the same. I have lots of play in the wheel....no wandering around the road but the wheel itself can move an inch or two in either direction without having much effect on the front wheels. I've read through the manual but haven't attempted anything yet.
