Sounds like a bad ground connection... Sent from my Z970 using Tapatalk

IMHO, SW, I don't think that sticking with the stock setup is a good idea knowing the tendency of these vehicles to have frame to steering box issues. If he was running close to a stock set of wheels and not subjecting the drive line to the extreme forces of off-roading then it would probably be...

I gotta agree with you Southern Wolf. Just a note of caution there though Chewboi. As SW said, you might be better off changing out the steering box if it really is excessively worn. If you try to tighten up an excessively worn gearbox, it will seem to work great driving near straight ahead...

Here is another idea... Take the bolts out and remove steering box. Acquire a length of thick-wall reasonably high strength steel tube. NOTE: The ID on the tube should be a snug fit around the bolts you just removed. The OD on the tube should be at least 2 x ID. Drill out the existing holes in...
