steering play
I have a 98 z71 with 35x14.50x16.5 swamper radials and a 9" lift(6 suspension 3 body) and I have bad play in my steering. Any idea what I could do to fix this?

ok found out it is in my steering box. What years will interchange and what is the cheapest way to fix it? I just built the motor so money is a little tight

How was the idler arm? it should mount to the frame opposite the pitman arm. I've read they could go "bad" develope slop.

I had my wife turn both ways until she started feeling pressure and the steering arm never moved so I am sure that is bad, may find more things wrong as well, but starting from the top.

How about the rag joint? Might just need a new steering shaft, one w/ u-joints.
