Steering Gearbox Issues
Hello everyone, I got a question that I need a answer to ASAP. Sorry if this is in the wrong area but only place I could think of posting to. I've had death wobble problems in the past. Thought I got it cleared up but I got it again today. I've been through all steering components and all front suspension. I came to find that my gear box has a bit of play. I can move my sector shaft and pitman arm side to side just a tad but but I can move it up and down even further. Is there a way of correcting this or is the gearbox on its final legs? Please help. I need this rig freeway ready by tomorrow. Saturday if necessary. Thanks in advance.

Can't help with box itself, but do a quick search for reviews on this and see what you think.

BTW: Death wobble is caused by loose track bar. Play in the steering will cause flightiness but only an axle shuttling side to side will cause death wobble.
