Steering issues

Alright all you front end gurus I have some issues with my 92 4x2 steering. I have basically replaced every component on the front end, steering box, tie rods, drag link, radius arm bushings, Have the pivot bushings just not installed yet. Problem is wandering while driving. Get a good 1/4 turn each way while driving and its quite annoying I adjusted steering box to eliminate play their. Had a helper turn wheel to and fro while I observed movement of components on the front end but everything looks tight as it should any help appreciated. Thanks Ed

How bout slop between the two shafts? I noticed play in the slip joint and made 2 shims to slip between them under the rubber cap. Felt like i was steering with a rubber band before and have no play after

I can't remember the exact problem, but I remember a similar thread a few weeks ago. I think it turned out to be a problem with the rear suspension. I just tried searching but couldn't find it. Maybe someone who does can provide the link.
