Tightening the steering box can help to reduce the amount of play or slack in the system, which can cause the steering wheel to feel loose or unresponsive. This process involves adjusting the tension on the steering box and its components, such as the tie rods, pitman arm, and drag link, to ensure the system works properly and efficiently. When these components are tightened as necessary, the vehicle’s steering system will respond more quickly and accurately to the driver’s commands, resulting in better control and handling of the vehicle.
