Re: How Good/Bad is your Steering Responsiveness?

The stabilizer won't have an effect on steering responsiveness. I have the same problem with my '72 K2500. Everything has been replaced. The steering box is a known to be good unit from a friend who converted to crossover. My shocks are crapped out and I know that makes the truck toss around,which can cause some wondering. But,the steering wheel to wheels has lag. I've been living with it and don't drive it much.I have lift springs,shocks,and good tires to put on and I want the steering right. I have hydroboost from my '91 Suburban I'm parting and think I'll put that on there. It handled well when it was running. I also have a Dana60 for the front but think it will have to wait and go in later when I can afford to go over it. I know the Dana44 has all new stuff.
