I've found the method in the manual for checking play in the steering box to be overly difficult. Try the following: Place a 2.0-inch block of wood under each upper A-arm of the suspension. There is a rubber rebound stop under one arm, place the block under the other.
Now, when you jack up the front of the car under the frame, the front suspension will be in its correct position. You can check the front suspension for looseness now that it's in the air and in its normal position. You can check and adjust the steering box so there isn't any play in the steering arm without disconnecting it from the tie rods.
