- well... this probably won't explode.
So I put a 3in body lift kit on my 94 almost 2 years ago and have been dealing with this problem ever since.
To be clear, i am NOT talking about the normal stiff steering encountered after a lift. I mean If I let go of the wheel it will pull pretty hard to the right ( I will be on the curb within seconds if I let go). I took it to my guy who does off-road alignments and he was unable to correct the problem with an alignment. He suggested that the adapter for the steering column might be the issue (it doesn't fit as snugly as I'd like).i tried fiddling with it but I eventually just gave up on it.
Now 2 years later I finally decide to take it into my local off road shop and have them take a look at it. $120 later they tell me they fixed it, but not only is the problem not fixed, now my steering is back to that original "fresh body lift" stiffness. I'm about to pull my hair out
Does anyone have any suggestions? I havent been able to find anything helpful after various Google searches.
