Default how do you adjust play in steering box 2000 txt

Ok I am getting about 45 degrees of play in my steering wheel was not an issue when I was running stock system going only 16 mph but now that I have upgrade my system currntly running 22mph gets m a little pucker factor when I need the percesion steering. So the question that I am asking is can you adjust and if you can how. Since it is a 2000 model it has the old steering assembly located away from the front axle.

The steering mechanism is a rack and worm gear affair. there is no adjustment in it only replacement rack and gear. Have somebody move the wheel back and forth in the play zone and look around underneath to make sure it is not a bad tie rod end or steering knuckle?

Will this help in steering wheel play? And if so I only find rack & rod end assembly?

Replace the bushing at the pitman arm. When it gets bad the arm will twist side to side before you get tie rod movement. While you have it apart check the rack in the center for wear. If worn replace the rack and pinion gears as a set.

Ok the tie rod end on top of the pitman arm twists before pit arm moves , surely there is a part for this and not a whole new rack ??

Thank you

Robert

Depends if it’s a 3 bolt column or 4. I believe 2000.5 is when they changed to the better steering setup so if it’s a 2000 it could be either style
