Thinking I have bump steer ptoblems
Iv always heard bout but never knew what it meant so I Googled it. Now the problem iv been seeing is when iv got my wheel turn all the way and get it in a bind like climbing a rock or suck my wheels will turn back almost straight sometimes even though I have my steering wheel turned all the way and iv noticed in 4lo with my locker on if I go in a circle with my steering wheel turned all the way I can watch my tire go back and forth like it has play I have no slack in none of my steering components or steering wheel iv also plated the frame area around the steering box and up graded the bolts. I took a few pictures of my front end to let yall see the set up
Only thing that I see could use replacing is the steering stabilizer and I'm planning on that this week also I'm guessing the red bar is what they call the track bar?
Dont mind my winch cable i just had to use it yesterday lol

You're gonna feel some strange goofiness through the steering wheel at full lock in 4Lo, it's the drivetrain being in a bind, pretty normal.

The play is the lil bit of play the ball joints in the tie rod ends have in them.Bump steer is when your driving down the road hit a bump or pothole and your car steers to the left or right on its own thats bump steer.
