91 samurai 8v manual steering
Completely stock aside from tires one size larger.
Having two issues with the steering..
#1 recently a tooth broke off in the steering box and i opted for the rebuild kit from roadless gear. Great quality kit imo.. however now that the box is rebuilt the steering seems so tough like hard to turn? Its smooth in its function just tight. I checked the bearing preload as well as the top screw adjustment and it still makes little difference. Any ideas?
#2 before the rebuild.. and still now.. the car seems to pull right while trying to drive straight. New steering dampener, new rag joint, rebuilt steering box, new leaf spring bushings, new bearings and kingpin kit. No loose or worn components in the rest of the suspension or steering. Braking does not make the car pull any more or less. Road surfaces dont seem to affect it much either and the car does not really want to wander (at least for 30 years old)
Thanks in advance!
