74 Steering Issue????

Hi All,

I just wanted to ask if any of you have had steering issues with your 70 series cruisers? My steering has always been a bit off. Pulling to the left (Right hand drive vehicle).

About six months ago I rebuilt the front end, moved the diff forward an inch, replaced the tie rod ends and drag links and more recently I bleed the power steering, put in extended sway bar connects, bushes, caster shims, and shocks. Then got a wheel alignment.

The problem is that my rig still pulls to the left. Not to bad but I've always got to grab the steering wheel and hold it straight when driving. It just wants to run off the road. I'm running 33x12.5x15 Cooper STT's. Would the wheel size have anything to do with it? Is there a way to change the wheel camber on the BJ74 left front wheel?

There is a problem but I'm not sure if it's the way these rigs are built or if I have a major front end problem. Be good to hear any ideas or experiences.

Cheers,

Gav.
