Steering box is the last component to be touched. Make sure the tie rods, idler arm, ball joints and wheel bearings are up to par. If they are not, you will not be able to adjust the play out of the steering wheel, most likely over tighten the unit and accelerate the internal wear. Replacing the steering box is more expensive that all of the above listed components combined.
