    Re: steering

    What do you mean by "really loose"? Is the steering geometry correct? Are the alignment specs good?

    Have you figured out where the play is? It sounds like you need to diagnose the problem before you start throwing parts at it.

    from what I can tell everything is turning good into the box, but its not pushing the pitman arm, as much as its spinning into the box...

    Sounds like you need a new steering gear.

    Not sick in that "extreme" kind of way, its more of a weak stomach thing.
