Got a '93 W300 diesel and the steering was getting very sloppy. Replaced
wheel brgs, "king pins", & tires. The truck then started darting left &
right from the center steering position. It is hard to keep it in one lane
on the road! Replaced tie rod ends, drag link, and the steering box. Still
have the same problem but not all the time. Put the truck on jack stands and
didn't see any problems. Tires don't show any alignment problems, running
about 1/8" toe in. Steering is very stiff tho. It seems like the steering
box is fight itself in the center position and can't make up its mind. BUT,
had the same problem when the OLD steering box was in. Any help would be
appreciated.

Have you checked the condition of the flex joint that connects the steering
column to the steering box? They're notorious for causing slop in the
steering.
Borgeson makes a replacement that's more durable:
