Steering Question
« on: September 28, 2010, 03:57:51 pm »
Recently bought a 81 4x4 truck.  When turning to the left almost as if there is no power steering, to the right is normal.  Upon inspection I found the coupler from the column to the steering box to be messed up.  My question is if I replace the coupler should my problems be fixed or did a bad steering box cause the coupler issue.  Also, there was recently a new power steering pump put on the truck, but there is a fluid leak somewhere (just got the truck Saturday and have not investigated thoroughly but appears to not be a line.)

Explain what is messed up? Are you talking about the rag joint? Does it feel the same in both directions with the engine not running?
