Have a 2000 GC limited.
So I have the RC 4.5'' lift with adjustable trac and steering stabilizer running 265/75/16 on stock rims.
Put the lift on, had tires mounted, balanced and installed and took it to have alignment done and didn't need it.
Took it to the dunes and on the way home the steering wheel was about 1/3 of a turn off when going strait. Took it in and had an alignment done. All was good.
Went of a few very easy trails and now the wheel is off a 1/4 turn again, and the steering is a bit sloppy again...... GRRRRR
Any ideas where to start?
Ohh and I do have a drop pitman arm and no DW at all.
Thanks for any help!

Maybe mark where on the drag link gets adjusted by that sleeve and see if is loosening up on you? Next time it goes all crooked on you you should be able to tell if that's the problem.
