Are you saying the was play in the steering wheel of about a quarter of a turn?
If your right rear is better than your right front, switch them out, as tecgod and dirty diesel pointed out.
Not so much out there on the problem on 2wd's. I did some more messing with the steering, which seemed to lead me to the steering box- while I see tire movement immediately when I turn the wheel, it seems to be 'soft' - like you could chock the sides of the wheels somehow and you'd still be able to turn the wheel more than you should.
So, I got lucky, Advance had a reman for $140 in stock. I'll pull the steering box in the next day or two, and give it a once-over before putting in the new(er) one. Nothing else seems to have made much of a difference.
