I decided to go with the CPP 400 P/S kit for my 56. When installing it I rotated the steering shaft to make sure it was centered. Most of the rotation was very smooth but there is an area of a "rough spot" where the steering shaft would meet resistance and was a little harder to turn. It lasted for about one full turn of the shaft and would ease up going back to normal ease of rotation. I see some not so good reviews on the kit and wondering if anyone has any experience with this and or advice.
I am calling CPP today and will update.
Thanks in advance.
My 49 has a CPP 400 kit and does the same thing..... has a little resistance in one spot when turning. So far I've had no problems with it and I like the way the truck turns.
The resistance I found was that the column was not directly lined up with the rag joint. I know that the rag joint should take care of all that but now mine works good and centers. Does your return back to center after a turn? Don't know if it helped or not but I had to burp mine and get all the air out. Good luck. I like the unit.
Thanks guys! I don't have it hooked up to the column or a PS pump yet. Looks just like the picture. I am turning it by hand and it hits a tight spot which concerns me. I talked to CPP they told me to return it to them to check it out. dang......
