1973 highboy steering...(again)

Alright, i know this has been asked before but i dont want to convert at the moment (dont have the time or money.) what i want to know is there away to take the slop out of the steering. from what ive found out is all the slop comes from the hole on the highsteer arm connected to the power assist. is there a tappered collar or something that can be put in there to remove the slop?

a good machine shop should be able to drill it out to the next largest size and install a tapered sleeve
