Steering Question

So I finally got to cruise my truck this weekend. I noticed that when I want to turn a corner I have to do quite a few rotations. Is there a fix for this besides power steering?

Its not that its difficult to turn, it just feels like I have to do too many rotations.

Re: Steering Question

These old trucks came with "low geared" steering boxes and large diameter steering wheels to make them easier to turn without power steering, especially if you were hauling some heavy cargo that was loaded properly (most of the weight to the front.)
