So I just dropped the front joint, along with the pitman arm.

The drag link doesn't have any real slop that I can feel, though it is clunky, and I can move it around by hand.

I did find almost 1/16" of rattle on the end of the pitman, from slop inside the box. The rattle is still there with the engine running, and in the middle and ends of the rotation.

The box was rebuilt by Benchworks ~4 years and ~3k miles ago. Apparently it's worn out already?
