Default Re: Steering Play When Steering to the Left

The F100 steering box, which he has, is also set up to be tight when driving straight but has some slack when in a tight turn. My F100 box has no slack when pointed straight ahead but has 2 inches slack at the rim of the steering when when at full left lock.

If it has play when pointed straight ahead but not when the steering wheel is slightly not straight ahead to left or right, then, as others have said, the drag link may not be the right length so that the box is not in the center when driving straight ahead.
