I just finished putting new kingpin bushings, tie rod ends, and drag link in my 56 half-ton. I centered the steering per the procedure in the manual but I think I might have goofed up somewhere.
I count the number of turns from full left stop to full right, then go back half that distance and that should be the center. Except when I do that, my wheels aren't centered. Is it possible I installed the pitman arm wrong or something else in the steering arm/tie rod system? I also notice that when driving, there's still some float going on though it's different than before I did this job. The thing that tells me that I might not have the sector gear centered is that when I come out of a turn, the wheel doesn't spin back on its own like it did before. It kind of hangs up there at the end and you have to bring it back manually.
