I have a 90 XJ with a RE 4.5 inch lift on it. Ever since I lifted it I began to notice some play in the steering that got worse and worse, about 2 inches. Nothing else was worn so I narrowed it down to the steering box.
So I went to the junkyard and pulled what looked like a decent box. Right after I put it in it tracked really bad at freeway speeds, basically it was following cracks in the road constantly and doing I guess what you'd call bump steer. It felt kind of loose as well so I adjusted the nut on top just slightly, which seemed to help quite a bit but the problem is still there. The steering doesn't seem to have any play in it any more so I don't want to keep adjusting it if it doesn't need it.
So any thoughts you guys have on this would be nice.
