Re: 4x4 steering issue - won't return to center

I have maybe driven this 50 miles since my last post and it seems to be doing the same thing again. Loosening the ball joints even more DID help, but it still won't return to center and is driving like $hit. Weird thing is I swapped out my power steering pump for a new one because it was making some noise, now this new one is starting to whine already! (fluid is fine).

I have not swapped out the u-joints in the front axle shafts, and have not put new bearings in.

RedHead boxes are built back to factory spec. I have actually tried 2 of them (different ratios) to see if there was any difference.

Any "new" ideas?

I had the axle out of the truck when I took it to get gears installed. Center pins are all fine. I have even tried multiple shims to correct the caster....frustrating!
