Time for a new steering gear box?

[Bennythebull]

Hey guys. Most of the time I see steering gear issues it’s related to leaking. Well so far I don’t have any leaks, but damn do I have a lot of slop (see video). I adjusted the lash and it did not fix the problem. Is this steering gear gone? The u-joints are brand new MOPAR, and the play is at the gear input. Thanks.

That's just about as much as mine moves around. Not too crazy about it either but the more I drive it the more I just don't think about it.

I eventually replaced mine, and it eliminated the slop altogether.

I went with the PSC ported box and added hydro assist at the same time since I was running 35s.
