Not sure about yours, but some boxes had a screw held with a locking nut accessible from the top of the box. Loosen the locking nut, and with the steering straight ahead, turn the screw in till snug, then back off a tad and tighten the locking nut. This solved a few highway speed wobbles in a few vehicles I owned over the years.
