Sloppy steering is much more likely to be a blown idler arm on the passenger side frame rail, and then maybe worn ball-joints in the center link.

Oh wow, do you really want to look at that first.

Swapping out an idler arm? Like, an hour of work.

Swapping out a steering box? Let's just say that the absolute best thing for you to do, right off the bat, is the remove the radiator. It's gets more fun from there.

Check everything else, first...
