Saginaw advice needed

[R.K.]

I am having trouble with my Saginaw power steering conversion. Basically, it doesn't want to turn left now. When we first finished the conversion, it turned ok in both directions. It turns to the right fine. The pump and both lines are new. I have the Marlin Crawler high steer kit, and have no problems with it. I can't see anything putting the steering in a bind. All of this leads me to believe the problem is in the steering box. Has anyone experienced this before?

does it happen with the drag link removed as well?

Get in, while a friend is bleeding your system, turn to both right and left stops...I have heard of air bubbles causing a stop in the range, especially if it worked correctly before the install...

Good Luck

You have air in lines.... jack the front end up, turn the steering wheel lock to lock 10 to 15 times should get all the air out. Be sure cap is off pump while doing this..

Just a thought.....did this by any chance happen after hooking up a steering dampener? If so, see of you didn't put it on in a way that restricts the steering.
Take it loose and try it again.
