Part of the problem is that you still are running the stock steering setup with a SO rig. I know people that have done this, but it doesn't take long until they convert to power steering. In the mean time, some things that you can check are the center arm, TRE's and the knuckle bearings on your front axle. You can also check to make sure that your manual steering box isn't out of adjustment. I don't think that his happens too often, but it can. If all of that is in working order, you might try adding a steering stabilizer. I don't really know if that will help or not, but it might be worth a shot. HTH Thomas

thanks for the input so what your saying is that a soa and ps go hand in hand?
:smokin:

any other ideas

Pretty much. If you had the skills to do the SO yourself, then doing power steering shouldn't be that tough. Just make the plate that bolts the steering box to the frame rail yourself, and go from there. Or you could do what I am doing, and mount a Saginaw box off a Scout Travelall (sp?) above the frame rail, and run your steering shaft through your front grill. I am setting mine up this way, and I like it better than drilling or cutting a hole through the front cross member. HTH

Power steering and your problems will go away, unless you caster is not correct from SOA.
Did you do a shackle reversal also, or are your shackles still up front, could be another problem....:skull:
