Title: Steering problem
Post by: ldodge92 on August 26, 2010, 12:13:12 PM

Ive got alot of play in my front end. 90 sidekick with a 3 in body lift and 3 in calmini susp lift. Its fine off road but walks all over the place on the road. Any Ideas?

Check all of your steering componets..... including the frame behind the steering box. It's probably just worn steering componets but if the rig has been wheeled hard, it could be a crack in the frame at the steering box.

Thanks. How hard is it to do a power steering swap?

Or a cracked tube that goes across the front of the frame, I broke that one once

also check the front hubs and make sure they are torqued properly.  When I first got mine the hubs were never serviced or repacked and were very loose.  After tightening them down it made a difference in the play of the front end.

Pump with bracket, box, lines, reservoir, steering shaft.  Take old manual steering off, bolt new PS on.
