Re: manual steering box play adjustment?
Yeah, the problem is uneven wear on the worm gear. When you adjust, it has be a compromise as you will hit spots where it may be tight and then come to a loose spots near the center.
You can't have any tightness in the entire range of movement.
I checked out the unit from Rock Auto too. Having a rebuild one with new gears is really the answer.
How bad are the tie rod ends, how many miles on the truck?
