Hello everyone I have a 2003 Excursion 6.0 td with a 6 inch Donhoe suspension lift. I have had lots of problem with my steering in the last 2 years. I have replaced my steering box twice it works great for about a month then I start having to much steering free play. I tow a 29ft toyhauler and cannot have this free play with trailering. HELP!!

I have a 2003 EXCUR with the 7.3 diesel and 85,000 miles, I just had all my front linkage reaplaced by a buddy that is a FORD front end Mech. Not only did I have play on but once in a whlie it would make my steering wheel wobble, so they replaced it all, ball joints, tie rods, all the steering linkage parts, new bearings, new shocks, and now it thumps like
my BMW, maybe even better , so have a FORD guy take a look at it, oh we it aligned too, good luck!
