RE: Sloppy wheel....front end issue...
At that mileage, the truck most likely needs:
1. All tie rod ends in the steering gear replaced
2. The steering box "pre-load" adjusted
3. Both panhard rod bushings replaced ( the panhardroddetermines thelateral location of your front differential housing)

RE: Sloppy wheel....front end issue...
Look on rangerovers.net , as there may be a printedprocedure there for adjusting the pre-load. Essentially -- there is a threaded shaft with a lock-nut that protrudes out of the top of the steering box. With the wheels off the ground and pointed straight ahead, you slacken the locknut while holding the shaft with a allen wrench. Then -- you turn the shaft clockwise a little at a time, and then turn the steering wheel through it's full range both left and right. Repeat -- until you detect a "SMALL" amount of resistance at the extreme left and right position. Then tighen the lock nut and once more-- turn the wheel through its full motion in both directions to make sure there is no binding.
Information offered with no liability on my part, you understand. You are just trying to tighten up some normal slop in the steering box. Sometimes it works, sometimes the box is too worn out.

You don't buy Rovers to sell them and turn a profit. Sounds like you are about to make a major investment in your truck.
