When trying to eliminate excess play in the steering system please check the right hand side steering idler. Check the expected wear on the brass bush diameters (2 bushes) but also the end play shimming or adjustment. Excess vertical movement in the idler will mean the right hand side wheel may not respond directly to your steering inputs. This may appear as steering box problems. The idler shaft bushes are more likely to 'hammer' themselves out of diameter rather than wear from rotation which is limited and low speed.The right hand side sees more bumps and road damage impacts than your left. As Pat Quinn would draw to your notice it is all opposite hand 'down under'
