king pins, Tie rod ends, draglink ends, leaf spring bushes, u bolts, wheel bearings. front diff torque rod/anti tramp rod, loose wheel nuts.
Play in any of these can potentially affect your steering

its on top of the steering box don't wind it up too tight or it'll be like driving down railway tracks
its only to take the lash out of the worm drive in the steering box

Yep it has a lock nut and a flat screw head, relieve the lock nut and if I remember right it only needs half a turn, turn it enough so there's no slop in your steering. Ie when you move steering wheel side to side while truck is stationary there should be no play before wheels respond
