Default Sloppy Steering in 94 Dakota

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I have a '94 Dakota 4x4 that has some pretty sloppy steering. I've done some searching on the forum, and I found a couple of old posts about replacing the steering shaft with one from Borgeson. All those posts are related to full-size Dodges, and in fact Borgeson seems to only sell shafts for full-size trucks. Can anyone offer some advice on fixing the slop? I'm not an experienced mechanic, but I'd like to be able to fix it myself if it's relatively easy.

Thanks,
z

jack it up and wiggle the front end side to side and watch the IDLER arm / that should be your problem

Thanks for the reply. I see exactly what you're saying. Not sure if I want to tackle it myself--doesn't look too bad, but I probably don't have all the proper tools.

Thanks again,
z
