I tightened the steering box, better, but still slop/slack.

Alignment shop says all (replaced) upper/lower A arm bearings, idler arm (twice) and have moog with grease nipple used regularly, idler arm (w gbushing) moog, ?
Seems all good, Tightened screw on steering box, but (though much better) still 1" or so steering wheel "lost motion" back and forth wasted effort and swaying...
Suggestions?

So, I did this recently as well. At this time I discovered that I have play in my steering shaft's "u-joint" right at the Power steering box. Others might suggest it could also be the bearings in the steering column. To fix this you could look into this: http://rocksolidramtrucksteering.com/

To see if it's play in the steering shaft you could roll down your driver's window and rock the steering wheel back and forth while you watch the shaft for play. For the Steering column play it's pretty easy. You grab your steering column where it comes through the firewall and give it a quick shake, it shouldn't move.
