Sent you a message. Thanks

Thanks all for your assistance. Got the castor shims CruiserMatt recommended and it's like driving a different vehicle.! Went from approxmately 6 degrees negative to 1 positive. So much better.

very well could. Its a saginaw box. I will get some pictures a lunch thanks

wil Thanks will get some up asap

that sounds good. I'll check that out and report back. Also, I should have mentioned, the steering box now sits right behind the bumper, my research shows that is not standard. Thanks

I have a fairly new to me 1976 FJ40. Previous owner did an engine swap for a chevy 350, chevy 300 auto trans. They also added a 2 inch body lift and a 4 inch rough country lift. The steering box has been changed to a GM camaro box. It doesn't look bad but it doesn't drive well. It wanders all...
