Sloppy Steering-Suggestions??

[DEZLPWR]

Since I have owned the truck(5 mos. ), it has always seemed to have sloppy steering. It doesn't wander or anything like

that, the steering wheel just seems to have a lot of

play in it. I realize that it is most likely related to the lift

kit, but is there any way to "tighten" things up? If

there is, what am I looking at in terms of $$ for

parts?



Thanks!

You can always tighten the adjustment stud on top of the steering box. It's always worked for me. It's the stud with the allen hole in it, and only do 1/4 turn at a time.

My '98 was the same way and I did these adjustments which helped alot. The bearing preload on mine was way too loose. Check it out:http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/tsb/1997/19-10-97/19_10_97.htm
