replaced steering box - steering backwards now
It was a bit fun. figured I could learn to drive it that way, but then could not drive my wife's expedition. a friend told me just do it like how you back up a trailer. use the bottom of the steering wheel instead of the top 12 o'clock. Anyway, fixed and working, now if I can just get it to...- woodrow

Hello, I just replaced my steering box and pitman arm. I had the wobble of death and narrowed it down to the steering box.
