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.

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.

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