Check the nut under the steering gear box that holds the steering arm on. Sometimes these big nuts work loose. Next, drain the oil out of the box and take the big plug with the hex on it out of the front of the steering box. Then screw the worm out far enough that you can check the thrust bearing (ball bearing) that is held on with a castle nut and cotter pin. If the bearing has any play in it, replace it. Also, that ball bearing must be held tightly in place in the steering box. The big plug with the hex holds the outer race in place and thus the plug must tighten up against it. The castle nut on the end of the steering shaft holds the inner race of the bearing which must be tight against the shoulder on the shaft. Sometimes the threads get worn and the nut won't tighten up far enought. If the inner race is not tight on the shaft, put a washer under the castle nut. Be sure the washer does not contact the outer race of the bearing or any other of the bearing moving parts except the inner race. If you don't find the problem after going this far, then you have problems inside the steering gear, such as worn gears, bad bearings, etc. There is no adjustment on these things and you are looking at a rebuild to get things tight again. HOpe this helps.
