Default Steering Box Adjustment

On my way into work this morning I noticed my steering seemed a little loose. Meaning the truck wanders from side to side. And there seems to be a little play in the steering wheel when parked. What can I do to fix the wandering??

Check your tie rod ends, and if you have a 1500 make sure the steering rack is tight on the cross member. Mine backed off one time and made it seem like my rod ends were shot! There is always going to be a little of play in the steering wheel because without it your rack/steering box will bind.

Try this. I know a few people that have used them and work great.
