steering play in the box

ok i finally found out where my steering wander is coming from. the steering shaft going into the box turns quite a bit and there is no movement in the pitman arm, so its losing sompthing in the box, i thightened the nut on the top of the box a while back but didnt help much, is there any other adjustments on it, would the preload help? or do i have to just bite the bullet and buy a new box? i would like to have a good driving truck this year so i need to fix the steering.

thanks guys
