- thanks alot, so you don't think it could be that the gear box needs to be tightened? someone told me about doing that but im nervous because i heard if you tighten it too much it could wreck the box?Clarification Request

power or manual steering? Where is the play? in the steering box or drag link ends or tie rod ends?

if its sloppy
its either the tierod ends
or the center link
or bad pitment arm
you need too get the wheels off the ground and then check the tierod ends and center link for play

ok here is what you do
have somebody sit in the truck with it running and transmission in park, have that person turn the steering wheel left and right back and forth not alot just in the sloppy area, now while they are rocking the wheel look underneath the front end, all of the joints should have a rotational movement, any joint that has slack or up and down movement must to be replaced.
good luck
