All these people that crank down on the internals of a worn out gear box, are just pulling the pin on a time bomb.

If the gear box is sloppy, be safe for yourself and others on the road with you and buy a replacement.

I am running a manual steering gear in my burb, and have been through a few replacements. My experience has been that, at their best there is some play. I personally have not experienced a manual gear, that feels as snug as a PS set up at the wheel.

Most of the vendors sell those replacements.
