I have looked online but I can't find what I think I'm looking for because I don't know what it is called. I was wondering if there was some sort of adjustment I could put on my steering column to reduce sway. It has a lot of sway when driving down the road.
Yeah, it's slop then. Lots of things to look at:
Tighten up/adjust your existing steering box
Install a Rock Solid Rsm steering fix
Check your steering stabilizer (it might help but prob not the whole problem)
Ball joints
Loose/worn bushings
Etc.
You are really going to need to dive into this to figure out the causes of your problem. Start by jacking up the front end, have someone turn the wheel back and forth to figure out where the play in your steering wheel is coming from.

Okay thank you that should help. I have put in a whole new steering column just recently because when I got the truck all the away bars were bent and I went ahead and got a new stabilizer while I was at it. That helped the steering quite a bit but there is still plenty of slop like you are saying and I didn't know if there would be any extra or special stabilizer to help this.
Need to look at the steering and see what's loose. Likely it's the steering box itself.... they are rather known for that..... Grab a friend, have them lightly turn the wheel back and forth, see what moves that shouldn't, and what doesn't move, that should. Take it from there.
