I just refilled my steering box with 75w-90 gl-5/gl-4 rated gear oil.
There is a little play in the steering wheel. When I rock the steering wheel slightly back and forth I am hearing a knock in the box. There is the slightest resistance as the steering wheel begins to rock the opposite way I was rocking it. Is the oil wrong or do I need to replace the whole box? Does anyone else hear the noise or is it normal?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

It is a stock manual steering box.
