20200212_134442.jpg After tightening the pitman arm, it was apparent that the box has a lot of slop.  Probably 75% of the steering slop is in the box. Probably 20% is in the Left ball joints.

UPDATE: Turns out, not only are the BJs worn - the lower one's nut isn't even tight inside the steering knuckle. And there's not enough room under the U-joint to put a wrench on it.
