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

Re: CJ Steering Box advice
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.

Re: CJ Steering Box advice
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!
