How to fix steering slop?

Cardone is a rebuilt mopar box
for about 400 you can get a lares new replacement (i believe they are made in minnesota or somewhere) these are different from standard, i.e look different) but fit in the exact same place.
but are not the same as the delphi built borgeson box which is a re cased modern steering box of the kind used by jeep etc .
to be honest they are all the same bar the assistance and the steering ratio. materials have changed, tolerances are better but its still a recirculating ball, bearings on a worm screw steering box.

other option is a column adapter (fills in the gap and is a spline converter) (expensive new...) and a manual box (often more in line with your budget)

Mine is manual
i managed to get No slop at all.... by rebuilding everything with new parts. the only bit that was old was my car specific "Right hand Drive" steering box case i just used US parts and converted the ballnut/screw to RHD for my car specific UK/Australia/South Africa steering box

rebuilding a manual core takes about 1 day the first time...there is nothing much in there

you spend more time waiting for the Parcels to arrive and swearing at the rockauto website for labelling stuff up wrong

idler
pitman
track rod ends
bushes
and the coupler in the steering shaft
