Loose steering????
I lifted my jeep and i got really loose steering so I checked my tie rods and replaced my whole front steering with the 1 ton steering all new, now my steering is very responsive turning left but turning to the right its still very loose, steering stabilizer is new, tie rods are new, drop down pitman arm is new, power steering pump is good, anybody have an idea

sounds like it might be a bad box. I guess you could pop the draglink out of the pitmen arm, so nothing is connected to your steering, and see if u can still feel it. If you can then u know it is your box.

I got it aligned after lifting it and they got the toe in the process, ad for the bushing not sure exactly what it does but no I didn't use it, my buddy has the same steering on his xj and no problems like what I'm experiencing
