Turning radius fix
Have a 1978 Ford with a Dana 60 front axle, I'm having turning radius issues. It has never turned "good" but I am in the process of a restoration and looking to fix it all. I am running 38x15.50R20's, and I realize these will turn like **** anyway, but it has never been right. I am getting about 2 3/4 turn to the right and about 1 1/2 turn to the left? Any help with adjusting? Has a 4" drop pitman arm and a dropped adjustable drag link, shortened as far as it can go. Also, when turning left, the drop drag link end hits the left shock when at full turn...any experience with this? Thanks everyone!

It sounds to me that something the steering is not indexed correctly. ..either the steering box is not centered or the pitman arm is off by 90 degrees... some steering box output shafts have multiple indexing splines. That's my nickel....
