    Play in New Steering Gear Box After Cunningham Machine Steering Shaft

    I just installed a CM lower steering shaft. It's amazing. Build quality is top notch. While I was in there, I replaced my leaking steering gear with a Blue Top unit. After getting it all back together, I noticed a 1/4 of "dead play" in my steering wheel. Feels like a gap between the gears in...

    First and Last Bluetop Steering Gear

    Not sure if there's a suspension thread for the 2wd trucks so I threw it here. So I am going on the 3rd steering box I'm about to put in this truck and am pulling my hair out. When I bought it the original had so much play and the fluid was black and burnt smelling. Replaced with a cheap BBB...
