What does it do?

From Four Wheeler Magazine:
Steering slop and wander in 1994-2006 Dodge 2500 and 3500 pickups can be a sign of impending steering box failure. Shop guys we spoke with tell us that the problem is most prevalent in trucks that have been fitted with larger-than-stock tires, but they also noted that they're seeing failures on stock rigs, too. The problem can be traced partly to the sector shaft. Side play of the shaft causes premature wear on the internal components of the steering box. As the box wears, poor handling, fluid leakage, and eventual failure can result.

The solution to this problem is to add support to the sector shaft before the steering box fails. How do you do that? Well, there are a few braces available in the aftermarket for Dodge trucks. Performance Steering Components (PSC) offers two kits. One is for 1994-2002 trucks and one is for 2003-06 trucks. These kits add support to the sector shaft in the steering gear, eliminating the side play that creates premature failure of the box. As a bonus, they also tie the truck's frame horns together to help prevent frame flex.

[ramhunter9]

If you have more steering play adjust the nut on top of the steering box .
