I've noticed recently that my steering is a little sloppy. I'm taking more space in the lane than I used it. Anyway, I'd like to take care of the problem before it gets scary, here's what I have, and what I've thought of...
'89 3" lift, lifted with coils up there.
No sway bar right now (I know it's a very bad thing, that's why I always chim in with a big no!)
Stock LCA's, Track Bar, and Track Bar location.
I've got a little bit of bumpsteer, not much, just a hair, but I'd like to maybe take care of that.
The box might be a little loose (not just mouting, although I do need to check that), is tightening the steering gear as easy as it was in the sixties? Loosen the nut on top (or side) of the box and tighten the screw and make sure not to let the "washer" slide out to the side? Bear with me, late night thought and I haven't gone out to look 'cause it's cold out there!
LCA & UCA bushings, perhaps their worn and the axle is walking? It's got 197k on it. I know that the bushings are a major pain, so adjustable LCA's might be a solution.
I'm thinking of going up to around 4.5", hopefully by the end of the summer, but since I don't know when I'll be able to afford a new leaf pack (I'm just going to get spacers up front me thinks, unless I run into somebody that wants to buy my old springs) I'd like to take care of this and keep the idea of a future lift in mind.
Thanks,
