Finally got around to putting in the ZJ drag link and tie rods in my 89 XJ. Did the alignment, everything seems to work well... except for 2 things.
The most important, but might be because of the second, is that when I turn the wheel all the way to the right, I bottom out my dampener, turning left I can go to lock just fine, but when turning right I compress the dampener before it gets there,
2 ed is that my steering wheel is crooked, Which might be why I can turn it all the way until my dampener is compressed fully, its clocked about 80-90* left.
I've searched on here and found that all I need to do is adjust the drag link until my steering wheel is strait and that's good... what I'm worried about is weather or not that will fix the compressed dampener issue.
From what I understand (which is limited ) is that when you turn the wheel from "lock to lock" the "lock" is actually in the steering column itself and not a set "bump stop" in the steering box. If I'm right about that then great, all I need to do is adjust the steering wheel and it will fix the other issue. But I wanted to run it by people that are far wiser then myself beforehand =) Thanks in advance!
