Do you have any play in the steering wheel?

I just completed pretty much a front end rebuild and still have some play in the steering.[/QUOTE

Eh a very minor bit. Partly because of the amount of lift I have. I believe I read once before this style kit that you and I are runnin will always have a little non responsive dead spot no matter what. Give me a few minutes and ill try to find the thread.

Without being able to drive yours, its kind of hard to tell if yours is too loose.

[quote=NuclearCowboy;1806839]I have a feeling either the drop pitman arm or the steering setup I am running may be the culprit. Since the response is about the same as it was with the stock box and now with the durango box.

NuclearCowboy

Another thing to check is the tre to the pitman. They can sometimes separate internally and cause MAJOR loose steering. Even if it's new, still check....mine was brand new with the kit and they were bad. Replaced it and it was wayyyyyyy more responsive.

NuclearCowboy

[quote=fritzthekatt;1806872]Well if your steering box has been replaced make sure that is tightened down all the way....could very well cause play if it isn't. The pitman arm shouldn't be the problem.....

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. **** it's just nice to be on the road again.

NuclearCowboy

Haha no problem. Your jeep looks very nice. Had one identical till some non driving person totalled it.

fritzthekatt

Thanks! It's been a huge PITA since January. Sucks about the wreck. Didn't you get a fat check out of it? Can't remember seems like at the same time 5 or 6 people totaled their XJ's.

NuclearCowboy

Got a decent check but it won't buy me another one like it! Haha life goes on. Pita? Haha its never ending yet we all keep coming back from more. Your steering setup is a inverted y style which will ALWAYS have some tie rod roll. Great for offroad when its not noticeable but will always feel a little loose on road. Serious doesn't tell you that
