i have slop to,, been trying to figure that out for years.
The slop is in the control valve itself. It has to move some before it directs hydraulic fluid pressure one way or the other.
See illustration Plate 31C in the 55-56 parts book. The pitman arm (group #15.321) connects the steering gear assembly (15.310) to the control valve assembly (15.610). On my 55 Pat, every steering connection is tight, the steering box is tight, but the control valve itself has slop. Apparently, this is normal. Not a very good design, IMO.
