I have an 88 Ram 50, case you couldn't tell by my username and dozens of other posts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Is the steering box play adjustable on these? I seem to have a wandering problem and alot of play in the wheel.

yes they are adjustable but have you looked at your idler arm and other steering first?

they just have a lot of play...I have never seen a ram 50 that didn't have quite a bit...my old truck had a slight pull to the right so that made it easy to drive...no wandering at all hahah.

when you adjust the freeplay make sure you go a little at a time and do several test drives.you dont want to tighten it up to much
