I have my own answer to that, with a standard steering wheel on a series, I polish the wheel with by belly :lol:

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Is it as simple as nipping up the adjuster on the steering box??

Mine had two faults, which made my steering too tight.  The garage fitted a new steering coupling AND backed off the box adjuster very slightly.  Made a hell of a difference.  

So, conversely, tightening yours up might solve the problem.  

You also mention axle replacement??  What about the swivel shims??  Do the swivels have the correct preload?? Was this checked, if not do before touching the steering.
