Steering stiff after new box
So I replaced my steering box with a remained unit. I jacked up the jeep and bled the system a number of times. Steering is now stiff and the steering doesn't return straight when I turn. I adjusted the nut on top to try and make it a little bit looser, but no matter how much I adjust it, it doesn't change. I have 3/4 heim steering, but it wasnt stiff with my other box. Any help would be appreciated

That's what I was thinking. Came from autozone. I just adjusted it, tested it, adjusted, tested, and im a full turn and a half out. No change. Guess ill get up early and swap it out before my run
