Hey Mark,
Just to double check.. When you adjust the nut on the top of the box, hold
the outer big nut and turn the center bolt clockwise to tighten and remove
any slop in the steering. Its basically a wedge in the design so that as the
parts wear they can be tighened up again. Once you got that slightly
tighten, it doesn't take much to get it to bind (fractions of a facet), then
have someone hold onto the arm that is coming out of the box and as you turn
the steering wheel see if they can feel any play from what they feel in the
arm and the motion of you turning the wheel. This adjustment should take all
the play out as far as the box goes. If you still have play and you don't
see it in the motion of the arm and the steering wheel then it must be from
somewhere further downstream.
