I'd be surprised if new pieces are available, if that is the question? Pull up a PN and ask your Dealer. You have a NEW gearbox? Won't find anything "tighter" than that....
These are adjustable, in that there is a screw/nut that can be adjusted externally to put drag on the underlying ***'y. BUT if you over-do it this will shorten the life of the pieces and you will be back where you started. These boxes, as you are discovering, have a fair bit of center-play by design...

The steering column is part of the box...

You mentioned new suspension, did you replace the pitman arm?

I have had this issue as well for a while. I put a set of new control arms on my car being as the ball joints/rubber were shot in mine. I also did a steering box brace reinforcement. I checked my pitman arm and it is practically brand new. I wish someone would offer a aftermarket solution for a improve steering feel on these cars.

If you've not done so,upgrade idler arm to Moog K9369 for better steering response.
