Hi Everyone, I've got a 95 F150 4X4 5.8 Eddie Bauer w/ 126K. Just got done w/ all new tie rod ends, upper/lower ball joints, front drive differential u joints, seals, shocks and an alignment. But I STILL have sloppy steering. About 20 degrees of play before the wheels actually turn. Time for a steering box ? Thanks, DB

Did you also replace the inner tie rod and drag link?

 

Most likely box

 

before buying new parts, check the the joint directly under the steering column that leads down to the firewall for play..

 

There's an adjustment on the power steering gear box that might help take the play out of the steering wheel. This outlines the procedure:
