I have recently purchased a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 4X4 360ci with about 108th. It has horrible steering and I replaced the track bar(some improvement) and inspected the whole front end. I found that when centered the steering gear has a lot of free play-10:00-2:00. The sway bar links need replacement but didnt think it would correct problem. I did adjust the over the center screw but dosent feel normal (may have been done already),kinda tight. My question is has anyone replaced their steering gear if so what brand and are you happy with it? I have checked out some re-manufacturd gears at the big box parts stores. Seems to me they are just putting in new seals and everything else is original.

 

do a search, there are plenty of threads on this subject. and welcome to DF

Good link, Purp.

Be careful you don't drop the box on your head or it'll go squish.
