I just had the power steering gear box changed in my 1994 Mighty Max. The steering wheel is now cocked to the left. What would be the cause and what would be the fix?

You missed a spline when installing the pitman arm on the steering box. Park the truck straight and remove the arm. with the arm off, unlock steering column and point the steering wheel straight. Lock the steering column. Then reinstall the pitman arm on the steering box carefully matching the splines in the arm to the shaft on the steering box. that should be close to running straight while driving straight.

How to fix a rattle in my steering on my 1999 gmc jimmy. i have a rattle in my steering in my 1999 gmc jimmy

Check the steering intermediate shaft connection to the steering gear box, its slip shaft and the connection to the stering collumn. if those are ok, its probably slop in the steering gear box. Some of that can be adjusted out on the gear box by your mechanic. You will see either a flat head cut or hex head inset with a lock nut on the top of the gear box. Loosening hte lock nut and tightening the bolt to factory torque setting then releasing it the appropriate specified degress will reset the gear box back to factory settings. Beware if you set this wrong you will cause your steering to bind when turning. Therefore only let a qualified mechanic do this for you.

When removing steering gear box I have it

Use a flat tip screwdriver, or small chisel to wedge the slot open gently, then push the shaft up toward the inside of the car with a pry bar. You may have to let the gearbox move away from the shaft to get it to come completly off.
