Re: 1970 ford falcon steering box

If you have that much play it maybe time to rebuild or replace the box. There is an adjustment screw on the box that puts pressure on the bearing. You may try that to see if it helps, but that is seldom a real fix. Also I would check the rest of the steering linkage.
