To address the play in the steering wheel, we would like to have you perform our Isolation Test and, if at all possible, email us a video. Depending on what the video shows, we may have you do a minor adjustment on the gearbox to get things dialed in, or the video may show that there is something else going on. I have attached a copy of our Isolation Test Instructions. The most important parts of this test are that the steering gear needs to be on center and the engine must be running. These instructions ask you to turn the input shaft right at the gearbox, which helps eliminate any potential play in the intermediate shaft; however, you can instead have someone in the vehicle wiggling the steering wheel across center where the play is and then someone else can be down below shooting a video of the gearbox so that we can see the input shaft movement compared to the pitman arm movement.
