why does it turn left??????
i know this belongs in the steering section,but i couldnt seem to get an answer there,so maybe someone here may have a guess..my steering gearbox went out on my 78 f-150,i had powersteering to the right but not to the left. so i put a steeringbox off a parts truck on it. now i have powersteering both ways, but it turns right very,very easy and is a little too stiff turning left. i jacked the front tires up off the ground and the wheels turn to the right by themselves. could i have an airbubble in the fluid trapped in the gearbox cousing this?what could be the reason?....better yet,..what is the solution?
thanks for any help

with your tires pointed straight ahead , turn the steeriong wheel both directions , counting th number of turns each way , if they are not the same you need to pull your pitman back off and center your steering ,there is a high point that needs to be centered, bob
