It feels sorta like i have a "lazy" front wheel like a shopping cart front wheel. I have to battle the steering wheel in order to keep the truck from veering left and right. Any ideas? Thanx for any response given.
I do have the same problem wandering left to right I have installed all lower and upper steering parts ,I also adjusted the free play nut to max, the only thing I'm thinking is the gearbox wire out, any advise?

Default steering problem
After some research, I found out that the bushings of my power steering unit (rack pinion support) are gone. Because of that, the complete unit has a slack and goes from left to right and back.
