Broke the box right off the mount, eh?

Need better pics to help you solve the issue...

[ghetto_wheeler]

Here is a pic of a box...draw on it to show what is happening, then look all around the box and the bracket cause something in likely cracked.

[ghetto_wheeler]

I'm not to computer smart so cant draw but i can explain better when wheels are straight the passenger side points in just a hair and when i try and turn right the arm hits the tab on the right but does not hit the one one the left when the arm hits the tab I'm turned 1/4 percent but it has no probelm turning left

[ghetto_wheeler]

also my arm sits a hair to the right and not in the center

[ghetto_wheeler]

i have this sleve that looks ajustable but cant figure out how mabe rust or .... is it even

[ghetto_wheeler]

thanks so much for helping and my lack of help with the pics

Either the box, the bracket, or the bolts have broken and the whole deal has shifted.  Look on the inside of the frame...has a bolt started to pull through or dent the frame inwards?  Grab the box and shove on it different ways, see if you can see any cracks open in the castings.

have someone else sit in the truck, and turn the steering both ways while you look at the box. This will show you if something is broken, or bolts pulling thru, or if there is something binding INSIDE the steering box.

[ghetto_wheeler]

just did that and the colom was rubbing on the fender wall i popped hood and the colom is like mushroomed were it meets the box i know the pics are small but could this be it

[ghetto_wheeler]

i got photoshp starter addition 3.0 anyone know how to resize

[YotaJosh]

Sounds like your shaft "misindexed" for lack of better term.

Pull the pitman arm, count the number of turns lock to lock, and put the steering wheel dead in the middle. Reinstall the pitman arm evenly between the stops on the steering box. Test it, and repeat as needed to fine tune it.

A similar thing happened to my push-pull box, and I could barely turn left. I looked and the box ran out of turns before the arm hit the stops.

Worst case, you need another steering box.

Don't now about that, but you could try some of the simple and free online photo editors.

http://picnik.com/ or http://fotoflexer.com/ are good starting points.

Do you have original copies of the pictures...my email is under my avatar...the little envelope.
Send them to me.  I think the "mushroom" you are talking about is the mating flange, it is supposed to be like that.


These small ones don't blow up to good.

X 2, resized for 20min and still can't quite see details.

[CTENG in KS]

It isn't the shaft or anything...I guarantee he either cracked the casting of the housing/bracket, or damaged the frame.  Somehow the box has twisted in relation to the frame.

[ghetto_wheeler]

sorry guess it aint that kc came over (toyocrawler) and he said i just need to take the arm of and align it back to the middle cant find no cracks or bents or anything out of the normal

[DanS]

Holy  that was one nasty hit, sorry I couldn't be of help.
Good luck in your repairs, DanS

[ghetto_wheeler]

does that sound right? i kinda fell of a rock and now its off? did it move

[CTENG in KS]

Here are the pics he sent me...

[mudmaster]

That drop arm doesn't look right. I don't think it should be angled like that 

[79coyotefrg]

its not supposed to be,  looks like he has 5 or 6 inches  of lift  and   the  stock steering just  wont work  with that much lift

i also wonder why his  steering shaft is rubbing the body

I'm with mudmaster...My link was adjusted longer than that one with a similar amount of lift. That's why it hits one stop and not the other, near the box. If you cut off the stops at the box it won't change much since the stops on the axle should contact the stops on the knuckle before contacting the stops at the box.

  I think the body shifted to the right, Glen.     Loose body mounts or a good hard hit when wheeling might do this...
