Default Steering box & clutch

I have a 93 xj rwd manual tranny. When i got it i had steering issues it felt like it was floating & not connected to the wheels. I replaced everything except for my wheel bearings. Im now on my 3rd steering box & it still does not feel planted to the ground. My clutch too is giving me problems. Im on my 2nd clutch kit & it still very heavy. Im all the way in the philippines & shipping parts is not cheap. Please help

Do a proper diagnosis on why you have steering slop, jack the front of the truck, and have someone move the steering wheel back and forth

the Pitman arm should move directly with the steering wheel, if it does, see if there is wear or movement in any other parts

Try it without the steering stabilizer. I threw mine in the trash many years ago for the same complaint, floating and disconnected feeling.
