the saginaw steering gear in our trucks are not always the best, than when they go to ATSCO for overhaul they don't put in new gears, I am on my 4th gear box on my service truck and all have had 1/4 to 1/3 of a turn of play in the steering wheel.
When I worked for Firestone in Nevada we had a truck that had the ford wander, we replaced all th ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks, steering gear set the alignment every where from minimum spec to maximum spec and never got the truck to quit wandering.
