You shouldn't have any signifigant wear in your steering box.... Providing it hasn't been run dry.

Perhpas the slop is in your tie-rod ends, ball joints etc......?

I'd check that out first.

If it's not the problem, the re-circulating lead ball arrangement in the steering box will probably be worn.
You can shim up the ball housing in some steering boxes, but I reckon the easiest way out would be to try & find a replacement.

thanks dude it did have 4 thin bits of metal gaskets i guess its only ment too have one, than when it wears a bit you add more ????
