I just replaced my steering box and it did help! Lots of the same reman ones out there but Napa has a slightly better one (from reviews). I put it in and it's really helped!

I also replaced the lower bushings at the bottom of the column. That also helped. And on top of it, an added benefit.....my shifting detents on the gearshifter is tighter now. Bonus!!

And finally, I did go inside the column and replace the two bearings. Not nearly as fun but and "maybe" made the steering better. That's a little harder to tell though.
