I have 7 ins. of steering play! It seems to be mostly in the steering arm, 3 ins, and in the bell crank. Do these have repliceable sleeves,  bronze bushes perhaps,  or do you have to replace them?

Ross steering box and bell crank are rebuildable. You can by kits.

  Section “O” in your service manual. You do have a service manual, don’t you?

Thanks, folks,  for your replies and helpful information. No, I don't have a service manual yet I'm very new to Jeeps.

  After your jeep, the very first things you need are a service manual and a parts manual.

Edit to add: And this forum, of course. You will get plenty of advice here, most of it good. THINK about everything you are told, determine whether it makes sense or not.
