Steering Box Adjustments

I have tightened the big screw on the Steering Box, to eliminate the play in the steering wheel. Now I have the same play its just real tight. I ran the adjuster in not out.

I'm not talking about the one on the top, this is the one with the big lock nut and socket.

Everything is new, except the box. All my tie rods and ball joints are new. Yeah it lowered and narrowed. This thing is fine except for the play in the wheel. About 2" each side.

I guess the box could be worn so bad that any adjustment wouldn't fix it?

i would lean towards the box is worn. mine is like that to, makes hwy driving fun . the flat head on mine is all the way down so i have to check the other 2 boxes i have and see if there any better.

Did you have the front of the car off the ground?
