With a power box its important not to set it tight as you wont be able to feel the drag and wear out the sector shaft. You have to adjust it while the pump is running , as the tolerance changes once you start it up. The best way i found is turn the steering shaft at the box by hand and watch the play go away. Start the engine and standing outside the jeep slightly move the wheel and watch for any movement of the driver side wheel . You have to be sure you have no worn parts first , tie rod ends , ball joints etc. You should be able to get rid of any play that way. Some of the screws go in to get tighter and some go out, depending on the box and mount position. FjR68
