sloppy steering
ok guys, i know the stock steering on a dodge sucks. and i already know about the hydro assist for 800$ i could get, but with money being an issue i didnt know if there was any tips.
my steering box has so much slop in it, like over 90* of slop in the wheel, it is all tight to the steering gear, so thats my culprit. i have a new pitman arm and tie rod ends. steering gears the problem. is there anything that can be done to tighten it up? im good friends with a guy that owns a junkyard. i was just going to go out there and turn the wheels on some wrecked trucks out there and find the best one and hopefully get it for cheaap. i think anythings about better than what i have now so its worth a shot. does anyone know if they ram the same gears in 1/2 tons? if they did there would pry be in better condition than a heavy 3/4 ton, especially with the cummins, any helps appreciated |
New steering box, steering stabilizer bar, tie rod ends, other linkages. Thos big tires are gonna go through ball joints and sh!t so fast its not funny.

i have 3 new steering stablizers, new tie rods, new pitman arm, new ball joints

there is an allen head bolt on the top of the stearing box with a nut that you can tighten i did it to mine and it helped a little but i was on all data the other day and printed out the whole procedure on how to tighten all the bearings up so if you want that i can scan it up

New steering box, steering box brace, have you replaced the steering shaft from the column ? stock ones are junk :c:
|
I've got a Red Head steering gear, it's a lot better than the stock ones.
Or, you can get the gear and shaft from Borgeson, they're very good, but pricey. |
The shafts tight with no play all the way into the box. So the shaft should be good

I had the same problem. I cheaped out and put a Cardone gear in mine. Its done well and was $180ish. The 1/2 tons aren't the same as ours because of the cummins.
