Steering gear

Well this is a mind teaser. I have a 2011 Newmar Essex. When doing an alignment the shop told me there was some play in the steering gear. Neither Newmar, Spartan or TRW can provide a steering gear. I just want it rebuilt, however the rebuild kit is in the same situation. So what do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just have them adjust it. Tightening a truck steering gear box is a pretty common procedure. Eventually may need to be replaced but there is no need to rebuild or replace a box that can be tightened up.

Tightening steering gear

That is sector shaft adjustment. Done that no help. Really odd ball part used by Spartan with no kits or parts.
