My steering feels real loose. I turn the wheel 1/4 turn before the truck starts turning.


I'd like to adjust the steering box, but I can't budge the damn nut.
I sprayed it down with PB Blaster twice a day for a week!
All I can get to it with is a stubby wrence. If I try to use a full length wrench, there's not enough room to turn the damn wrench.
I'm thinking I'm going to go to Sears and buy a 16mm Croes foot.
Hopefully I can do it with that.
 






also, check the rag-joint where the column shaft meets the steering gear.

the crows foot should work. make sure you have a long enough extension to reach it.
