so I fitted a new steering damper today and it has stopped the steering wobble WOOHOO!! just need to get rid of the play in the steering now, it seems to wander but the damper has helped to cut down on the amount it wanders, but there is still play somewhere...
so where are the most obvious places? I think the steering box may be on its way out.. but where else could be causing it?

Slacken of the nut off the top of the steering box wind in the screw/thread a few turns and nip up the nut again try that.

As above. Its the steering box. They are never exactly great to start with.

It will be worn in the centre. Make sure you dont tighten it so much that its overtight when going from lock to lock.
