But some wear and slop is inevitable and you might be going too far with the 6 Ncm friction setting. What are you going to do when the worm gear and the piston don't meet the tolerance? I checked the FSM and it says they're matched at the factory for the best fit.
Maybe try tightening that if the tools aren't too pricey, but it may be a wild goose chase. I'd consider putting new bearings in (either 6 mm or 7 mm, if I recall) and that may tighten the steering a bit - quality steel, of course.
How's the wear on the Pitman shaft?

Hi Yak - I'm not alone - thanks!
The Pitmam shaft is fine - in fact everything seems fine - except for this floppynees...
I was just thinking that it might be one of those bits that gets installed correctly and then within 30 seconds of use it is out of limits as a result of the design. So I was kind of thinking that it might be a "don't worry about that" thing it isn't worth the hassle...
...but then again I see the challenge!
