I've replace all tie rod ends, center link, idler arm (with dinan firmer one), thrust rods (with dinan), and steering box with all new parts and still have a little freeplay in the steering around zero (center). I've been able to adjust the steering box with the adjust screw on the top of it but there is still a little wiggle room around zero (dead ahead) which allows the car to drift from side to side. Followed a trailer truck while driving to miami and I was all over the raod due to the airflow from the truck.

What can I do to correct this - it's driving me nuts !
