Steering arm curls...

The fact that folks are driving TF trucks with stock steering arms 60+ years after they were made is a testament to their durability. But I've said before that the 1/2 ton truck arms are part of the reason why folks often complain about the steering on a solid axle equipped truck, even if the truck has many new or upgraded steering and suspension parts. So I took a few minutes last night to capture the stock steering system in action. I started with the wheels straight ahead then turned the steering wheel until the steering knuckle hit the stop. Then I continued to apply and release pressure at the wheel.

I'm wondering if anyone else sees the issue I'm seeing.
