Got everything all aligned and was driving around and noticed a lot of play in the steering. As far as replacing it goes do you guys normally just buy like a Cardone Reman like you would get from Auto Zone or Napa or do you recommend something else??

Play in the steering could be a lot of things, the steering sector is about the last thing I'd suspect. I would look at tie rod ends and the rag joint in the steering column shaft first. If it comes down to the sector itself then you could rebuild it yourself, get a junkyard one or one from any parts store.

You can also adjust the stud that is sticking out of the top of the sector... it has a lock nut on it... this sometimes will remove a lot of slop from your steering.
