Re: How Good/Bad is your Steering Responsiveness?

Thanks for the input, guys.

BMERDOC, you are correct. some of the reman companies will only replace the soft stuff, I learned that a while back. My truck originally had the box with 4.5 turns lock to lock, and it was pretty loose. I had to constantly turn the steering wheel left and right to keep the truck in a straight line. The Autozone box I got is 3.5, and that certainly is a great improvement. I haven't yet aligned the truck, and I hope this helps in some way. I believe the toe is off just a tad. Another issue is that I'm having is that I started this build as soon as I bought the truck, so I've never gotten to get to know it.

The K5 I had had 7" of lift with a reman box and I also used a Borgeson shaft, and I honestly don't remember the steering response on it, but it was pretty good for a big truck. I sold it about 7 yrs ago, though.
