Hello,
I just replaced my steering box and pitman arm. I had the wobble of death and narrowed it down to the steering box. I can tell that the play I had in the wheels is gone, but now when I turn left the damn wheels go right. It was a very interesting test drive. I have rebuilt engines and done all my own vehicle repairs, but first time I replace a gear box. The guy at the auto parts said the box was centered so centered the wheels and put it all back together. I wanted to get some feedback on what I was going to try next. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. Disconnect the link from the steering wheel to the steering box then turn the wheels all the way to the right. Seem in my head that this will fix it.

Thanks.
