Thanks guy,s i will give that a go

I was told years ago not to over tighten the preload on a reciprocating ball steering box as it will destroy it in a very short time, something like 10kms of winding road. So, be careful not to over do it. A service manual or probably the tech section will tell you how much free-play it should have.

There is adjustment on the box,back off the lock nut and screw it in a bit. Otherwise an overhaul might be required.
