Tightened my steering box. Next to my brakes, best thing I've done for the drivability of my rig

Pitman, idler, steering stabilizer, and alignment today.


Prepping for those 3" lower control arms and Tony's 5/6" rear drop....which at this rate should be the end of the year or the new year. Also thinking of having transmission rebuilt by one of the nore reputable shop in town. They are very reasonable and honest which is extremely rare.

Is there a walk through for this? I would love to tighten my steering just drove from VA to MA and back and I definitely need to adjust my steering

There are write ups on multiple different gm forums and YouTube videos. A quick search will show you everything but you'll hear multiple different ideologies about which is the correct way. Some say have the wheels cranked, some say keep it simple and just tighten it.

You only need a 16mm wrench and a 3/16 Allen wrench (supposedly, I just dug through my drawer and found one that fits.)
What I did was loosen the nut on the box, 1/4 turns with the Allen wrench on the hex stud? while hand twisting the steering shaft to check play, and repeated until I got minimal play

I tried loosening that nut with a wrench while holding the Allen but couldn't do it. Did you just mark the Allen somehow and use a socket on the nut? That thing is in a terrible place to get to.
