Holy crap on that bearing! For that kinda' money, I would hope that it would hold more down there than my steering shaft!!

J/K, some times you gotta do what you gotta do and bite the bullet. Anyway, I am contemplating the same box but wanted to rule out everything else first as I am currently running a rebuilt "WS6" box that has been a constant disappointment.
I started by reducing the pressure from my Saginaw pump to be within Borgenson's specifications using their shim kit. https://www.borgeson.com/GM-P-S-Pump...-Shim-Kit.html
Then I assumed the rebuilt box would be adjusted correctly but I was wrong and the worm gear pre-load was not even close. I did get a noteworthy improvement in on center response using the adjustment process in this video: https://youtu.be/VRO1ne-SkZo
I have since added tubular arms and have 7 degrees of positive caster. Unfortunately, it is still "loose" around center but once you go off center, things are about right. I was going to replace my intermediate shaft next but before I do that, Is there a way to rule out a bad lower bearing without taking everything apart?
