Question steering trouble please help

I have an 84 bronco with a 302 in it, when I turn right the wheels don't want to go back straight after the turn, but the steering wheel will. You have to over correct for the wheels to go back. Makes for some scary driving. This is my 13th bronco & never had this problem before ! Drag link, all tie rods, & wheel bearing are new. Everything is tight. Any ideas ??? possible gear box ?
Thanks for any info.

yeah check the gear box... see if you can get someone inside the truck turning the wheel while you watch the steering linkage. make sure the steering shaft is actually turning, and there isn't a problem before the gear box. If it is the gearbox, a direct stock replacement is not too difficult.

Sounds like the actual teeth on the output shaft of the steering box are shot. Could be slipping.
