Re: TOO much play in the steering wheel

The correct procedure is to set the end play(thrust bearing preload) first and then the sector lash(the screw locked by the nut on top)....as per the service manual.

A steering box should only be adjusted after reading the factory manual ....it is a safety item.

Steering boxes are designed with a high point in the center and moving the lash screw too much down by adjusting it off center can cause binding and wander as the gear tries to push off center.
