Alot of play in steering. I have changed out the steering box and the small rubber o-ring in steeing linkage. All ball joints appear to be tight. ( have jacked the vehicle up and wiggled all parts). Still have play over 2"
Any ideas what I have missed?

On top of steering box you will see a nut with a screw in the middle. Loosen nut turn screw in untill desired free play is acheived.
