Measure the shaft diameter where the bushing goes & then measure the inside diameter of the new bushing. Most original shafts have quite a bit of wear. Best choice would be to have an oversize bushing machined to just fit your existing shaft, if the shaft has a lot of wear, turn it smooth first, then measure for the oversize bushing.
Steering shaft Ujoints, Worm & pivot gears, worm bearing, wheel bearings all contribute to steering play in the steering wheel. It has been my experience the sooner you replace them all (as one can afford) the better the steering will be.
I have an F300, over time I replaced steering shaft (with gear), worm gear ( full round), steering shaft bearing ( in upper bolster), steering shaft bushing ( in steering tower at platform), steering shaft u-joints, wheel bearings & seals, upper & lower bolster bushings
(had oversize ones machined to fit the turned down original shaft) where the bushing ride, new felts & seals, new thrust bearing ( had the lower bolster machined smooth for it to ride on). You can now turn it stop to stop just by using the spinner. In road gear no wobble & it steers with just a finger.
Wasn't cheap, but was much cheaper than trying to put power steering unit on it !!
