[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-Oct-02 AT 11:41 PM (EST)]what steps do I take to reduce steering play?
I have a 79 F-150 2 wheel drive with power steering.

 

Fairly $imple, replace anything that is loose or worn... Bushings, rod ends, kingpins, steering box (if it won't adjust). Slop seems to multiply itself.

There is lots of info here if you use the <SEARCH> function.

 

Ok obviously I did not search in the right place or use the right words so could you coach me along. also. it is probably in the steering box because I recently had the frontend redone.

 

The search function is very limited at this time. You can try the following method until the new forum software is installed use:

How much of the front end was "done"?

 

I cleaned mine up by replacing the rag joint between the column and box. Take a look at it. If it looks like crap, it may be your problem. Cost 11 bucks at NAPA.

took it in for a front end alignment.they told me all the parts were good except for the rubber mounts that tie the I-Beams to the frame. replaced those with new ones and the alignment was good.

 

I guess I am doing something wrong because I am getting nowhere with the search results. if someone could just direct me I would appreciate it.

 

Read post number 3 for advanced search methods. Otherwise it is just pick your way thru the "results".
