SHES ON HER FEET!!!!!!! My mechanic needed the lift she was on for some personal stuff this weekend so we went about temperarely fitting the steering knuckle to the pitman arm just to make steering her easier. He noticed that when she was on the ground the tie rod was at a perfect angle to the pitman arm. The lift the truck is on lifted the truck by its frame and let the axles drup. This cause several inches of misalignment on the vertical plan and made the tie rod not want to play ball.

To make sure what we where seeing wasn't a fluk we got a floor jack and lifted the front end using the axle itself and had a very smooth lock to lock of the steering wheel. So the steering problem is solved, she is almost ready to drive!!!! (just have to do some slight tinkering to the breaks.)

Why bring a gun to a knife fight when you can bring a howitzer?
