Where to start? Here.
Tightening the nut does nothing unless you've loosened it first and adjusted the grub screw in the middle of the nut. Get an assistant to sit in the drivers seat and get them to rock the steering wheel side to side in a moderate fashion. Observe each component of the steering linkage for looseness. There should be no slop between any two items that are connected together. Once you're sure that the steering box needs adjustment (and it's not some critical component about to drop off) place the front axle on a pair of axle stands. Loosen the lock nut on the steering box adjuster and gently tighten the grub screw until the box has the least slop while still turning from lock to lock without harshness. Then retighten the aforesaid nut. Once you've done that check the rest of the front end, one joint at a time.I tightened the nut on the steering box a while back
