Hello Everyone. Little background on this CJ I purchased this past spring. 80 CJ5, Dana 30 Front Disc brake, open. 44 rear spooled. Chevy 4.3 power train, Dana 300. RE 4.5 SUA lift.
The problem, it has a Saginaw steering conversion on it. Turning radius to the right is fantastic. To the left is piss poor. Like might as well not turn at all. I pulled the pitman arm with the wheels straight and turning the steering wheel left and right both have 2.5 rotations. I don’t see any interference with frame, springs, or anything like that. What are some things I should look for? I can add some pics when I get home.
Thanks,
Tristan
