Reply to "Vague steering, need help!"

other things i would check is the steering column,with the top u-joint disconected is there any loosness you should be able spin the wheel with one finger and no tight and loose spots.next is the u-joints,should be smooth no binding.next is alignment of u-joints and shafts to the rack. they should evenly spaced on the splines if your steering wheel is centered and turn signals cancel correctly should be ok.next with front wheels straight ahead,steering wheel level [centered] check the amount threads showing on the inner tie rods,should be the same .this would be a good indecation that it turns the same amount side to side. as far as bump steer goes,try this,with the cat on level ground,and where front wheels can move around,maybe in the grass,push down on the nose evenly watching the steering wheel,does it move? if no then bump steer is not an issue. if does ,how side to side ,right or left? also standing outside turn the steering wheel all the way to one side watching to see if it lifts the front end if it does check spindles could be bent or other parts.Caster , if you modify the upper arm to increase it i think you should also do the lower arm so you can keep the tire centered in the wheel opening, my opinnon.i have done this to 6915 and it feels like it has power steering.
