    Default steering question

    I replaced both control arms and thrust arms, tighten the nut on the steering. I just tighted the stearing box, however to get the slack out of the steering when the wheel is turned to one side the wheel will not return to center by its self when driving. I hear a small clicking sound when the front end is off the ground and the wheel is turned to one side. I wingle the steering wheel and I hear the clicking. If I tighten the steering the clicking goes away, however then the steering will is very tight. Any ideas?

    Loosen the adjustment on the steering box or it will wear ir out very quickly. The wheel should freewheel back to center, if it needs any help it's too tight. If you still have play then the box is worn a bit.
