When trying to eliminate excess play in the steering system please check the 
right hand side steering idler. Check the expected wear on the brass bush 
diameters (2 bushes) but also the end play shimming or adjustment. Excess 
vertical movement in the idler will mean the right hand side wheel may not 
respond directly to your steering inputs. This may appear as steering box 
problems. The idler shaft bushes are more likely to 'hammer' themselves out of 
diameter rather than wear from rotation which is limited and low speed.The 
right hand side sees more bumps and road damage impacts than your left. As Pat 
Quinn would draw to your notice it is all opposite hand 'down under'
