If that is in fact the problem. And it isn't as simple as adjusting a screw to tighten up the factory steering box. Too tight and you'll be looking at a new box in short order.

With many, many vehicles, it is a worn or failed component in the steering that is the cause. We have had a few threads on the subject of what to check in the steering. These include tierod ends, the idler arm, and the pitman arm.
