STEERING BOX HELP!!!!

[crdenoyer]

So my trucks steering is getting looser and looser. Had the truck for 3 years now and the steering is really bad. How do I adjust the Steering box.

Thanks

If you from the top of the engine bay down at the steering box there's a locknut and adjusting screw on top (you might have to clean it up due the grease and dirt that collects there). Just loosen up the nut then use a allen wrench to adjust.

How much do you tighten the bolt down will it stop when its all the way adjusted or do you turn it little by little and keep taking it for a test drive?

Well guys I took my truck in for Hard start and got a new FICM under warranty
plus my steering was real loose and I thought it was my steering box. Well nope It turned out to be
a Bad center drag link that was causing my steering to be as loose as a goose. Something to think or
look at when you have a loose all over the road steering ..

check all your steering components first because if you adjust the nut and dont need to you can break the box.
