I agree with HRL on the steering box adjustment. I really doesn't take that much time to do and doesn't cost anything --- except for some 000 grease. In my opinion, that's where it starts - - - at the steering wheel and box. Besides, you know you have a lot of play in the wheel, so you need to do it anyway. Just my opinion.
