Steering return to center

[chris989]

Hello,

I have a V2500 with a 2 inch lift and 33's.

The truck steered great but had a leak in the gear box. I replace the box along with a new drag link and ends. The truck not will not return to center.

The first box replacement box was super tight so i returned it for a different box. This second box is a little better but the wheel is still heavy to turn and will not center at all.

I took it to the alignment shop, after the lift the caster was 6.3 degrees. Specs are 7.5-8.5. i added a 4 degree shim and can tell no difference.

Is it possible a little air still in the system could cause this?
Could my new drag link ends be so tight?? Seems highly unlikely.

Side note, This is the first time in my life I actually used power steering fluid and not trans fluid??


Anyone with this issue or a solution?

Thank you,
Chris
