Steering Question
I realize this may have been asked before, unfortunately don't have the time to go through everything.
I have a 1988 F150 Lariat longbed. The steering walks (not sure how else to describe it). The play in the wheel is about 2-2.5 inches. I have checked the connection to the gear box, and it looks tight. All bushings look new and are nicely tight. Once it engages, it turns fine, but the wheels seem to stay turned until I turn back. Any Ideas? Time for a new gearbox?

That happens when someone plays with the steering box adjustment screw, in an attempt to remove slop from the system.
Loosen up the adjustment screw and see if the steering will center itself.
