So the only remaining issue with my 88F150 is that the steering is sloppy at best. If I put my hand at 12:00 I can move the wheel between 10:00-2:00 without moving the wheels. the truck has a 3" body lift in it, and when I removed the center of my steering wheel I saw that the steering shaft notch that is supposed to be at 12:00 was between 1:00-2:00 (that at least explained why the wheel was sitting crooked) I was wondering what the best way to correct this would?

 

You'll have to check out the steering components and see what is bad.

 

I put a new steering gearbox on my 89.It made a lot of difference. Not that hard to do.

 

The gearbox is adjustable, so you can remove slack in it.

 

the gearbox is adjustable? what years are they adjustable? im just curious in case i ever wanna adjust the steering in my truck

 

Hmm wheres the adjustment on the box?? mine is also about the same 10 to 2.. but it hasnt really bothered me.. but if theres an easy fix then ill do it lol

 

Thread jack! Lol

 

As far as I know they all are. There's a threaded rod on the top with an allen key hole on it, and a jamb nut locking it down. Loosen the jamb nut and tighten the rod to remove slack, then tighten the nut to hold it in place. Don't go too tight or the box will wear out much faster, and you will notice more effort to steer and the wheel won't return to center on its own while moving.

 

Eh if it helps the OP fix his then were still on topic right?? lol
