I am a 2002 chevy tahoe with 175,000 miles. My steering wheel seem to be a little loose. And looks to be misaligned. Is there something wrong with steering box or maybe something else? I placed new pitman and idler arm. Ball joints are good and a bought new tires. Can anyone help?

You need to unbolt the steering box from the frame. You can do it with the lines still attached. Gently roll the steering box on its side. you can rent a pitman arm puller from autozone or advance auto.

Think positive, it can and has been done....

check the idler arm and pitman arms
a quik and dirty way to check for play in the front end
is to have an assistant rock the steering wheel back and forth while feel an all the joints in the steering gear for play.
there will likely be more than one loose joint.

You are on the right track. You may have overtightened the tie rods or the sway bar links. Whenever you do this much front-end work, you should always get the front-end re-aligned. The front-end mechanic will probably find and fix this as a normal part of the re-alignment at no extra cost.

did you check the alignment? the axle shaft can also do that
