I try doing it the way TRW recommends (take drag link off and apply 10 ft lbs to pitman arm by hand and eliminate slop) but I just cant tighten it enough.
I bet there's more than a few tricks you guys know of for this stuff.

Gaskets for the door or it needs bent or “adjusted” with a 2x4 stuck in it and pushed in where it’s leaking. I’ve got a W that leaks at the bottom corner and I think the wind caught it and bent it but no one will fess up.
If the box is loose buy a new one (not reman). You can adjust them but if you don’t do it right it can lock up driving.
I went through 3 reman boxes before I got one that didn’t wander.
Check your axle U bolts. Had a 98 that drivers side was loose and made it handle like azz. Didn’t notice until someone turned the wheel and watched it move.
