Re: Steering issues on lowered straigh axle

GENERAL UPDATE

I drove it back from the transmission shop and experience the scariest drive of my old truck driving career. I have read a lot about bumpsteer, but for the first time I experienced it baaaad. So, the wheel doesn't turn back on its own, and the truck has bad bumpsteer.

on-going:
- king pins didn't turn well... greasing them, the tops took it but tough getting it in the bottom
- I expect that the steering box/wheels are not centered properly, meaning that its not in the tight gears when its straight ahead, based on our initial investigation.
