CJ Steering Box advice
 

Howdy,
I've got a lot of play between the steering shaft and my manual
steering box. Would buying a steering box overhaul kit do the trick
or am would i just be better off buying a whole new box.

Thanks!

Usually when we notice the steering is loose, the sector end play
adjustment is not enough. It's time for a new one:

It depends on where the play is. From your description, it sound like
you need a column, not a box. The box only comes with a spline sticking
out. The u-joint fitting there is part of the column.

The boxes can be tightened up usually if there is play between the input
shaft and output shaft. If that is it, post back and I will type out
the directions.

I watched all the pieces leading down to the steering box while turning
the steering wheel and everything seemed tight. The spine sticking out
of the box turned exactly when i turned the wheel. However, i had to
turn the wheel a good bit before the pitman arm does anything on the
other side.

Thanks!
