Hey all,

As said in the title, on my fzj80, when i first start my LC the first 360 degree rotation of the steering wheel is really stiff, requires quite a bit of actual force to turn. After my first 2 full turns have been accomplished, the car drives fine and has 0 stiff steering issues. Is this a sign of a worn steering rack or what else could i be looking at for the issue?

Will be doing a power steering flush soon, but just wanted to know if it could be a sign of a larger issue.
