There should be no slop in the new steering boxes that we supply and if you have that would be the first I have seen. Is all the rest of your steering linkage new? I only as is that you mentioned you had it prior to replacement of your order boxes. Was the play the same amount? Our boxes are adjusted upon assembly but that is not say that the one you received maybe slightly loose. Have you made an attempt to adjust it? Did it make a difference? If not adjustments are made the same way as outlined in your vehicles factory service manual.
Please let us know we are here to help.
