    Don't need a Jack, just pry up on the steering shaft that the pitman presses on to... your looking for play in and out of the box, there should be a tiny bit like you can feel it but not see it, mine was like a half inch

    If they ain't balanced out, you'll get a shake n shimmy at a set speed... if they're jumping like mine I'd say start wiggleing yer tie rods, idler arm, pitman, steering box, etc just to check before ya drop money on tires just to find that ya still got problems like I did
