Hey All
I have a 1989 Burb with stiff steering will not return to center after making a turn,
New Steering gear box Red Head, 4,000 miles ago
All new steering components in the last two years
New steering shaft aftermarket for jeep
Steering pump three years old
Replaced the gear box because the OEM was toast steering was ok but loose
After the replacement box steering was very stiff First one from NAPA, Second one a Red Head that still stiff not as bad but started making a loud clicking sound, now on the third one after 4000 miles or so has not gotten better. a little better after driving for a while??
The only thing i can think of is that i removed the Drag link to the pitman arm with a Pickle fork with a air hammer! seems ok also have a inline filter and aftermarket cooler Plugged/?
