1)check your tie rod ends by jacking it all up and wiggling the wheels , you'll see it moving at the ball joint/tie rod end, tighten with the slot on the joint ,replace as necessary
2)if fixing all them isnt enough, tighten your steering box up, theres a nut on top that you loosen then turn the center clockwise to get rid of the play, dont overtighten, wiggle the steering wheel side to side to test play, until the play is removed
3)make sure its all tight and take for a test drive through the woods
4) smoke em if ya got em
