Re: swaying

how can you tighten the steering box? Please tell me how, I would like to know so I can do it on mine.

Also, I would check your tierods and idler and pitman arms for slack and wear.

Re: swaying

hex bolt on the top of the steering box, turn clockwise to tighten... Realize though that this is only a temporary fix..

Well found one prob today, was putting in new ball joints and found the pass side lower ball joint bolts were alittle loose, after looking at the bolts it was clear that they had been this way ,the thd was worn down on them.
Thanks for the help.
