for the steering, make sure all tie rods and front end parts are tight, then you may need to adjust the steering gear box, there is a nut on top with an hex bolt in the middle for adjusting the steering gear box sack.

I can't find the steering box adjusting screw on my 88 Grand Wagoneer. I know where it's supposed to be but not there (unless it's under lower radiator hose).
