OK guys here goes, I'm hoping you can help once again. My '86 has severely sensitive steering ever since I lowered it. I dropped the front with 2.5" dropped spindles and 2" dropped coils and in the back I dropped it 5" with hangers and shackles. I also put all new ball joints in, had it alingned... more than once, replaced the idler arm, the pitman arm, and just today replaced the whole power steering box. Much to my surprise/disappointment, my steering is still way too sensitive. One little turn of the steering wheel turns the truck too much. It's OK at slow speeds but at 40 or 50 it's scary.
Any suggestions out there???
Thanks in advance
