Well when the wife’s boat steers better than your pickup.... it’s time to start doing something about it. My first efforts in returning back to its factory acceptable “marginal” level (These things never did steer real good) was contacting the folks at Redhead Steering and get a reman/tested steering gear.
second lil upgrade was going to the 52122362AJ Mopar steering package. Much more robust than the twigs it was born with. My pickup is very lightly used and these are all 20 year old parts and were due for re-new...
Next will be upgraded intermediate steering shaft, upper lower trailing arms, and a track bar upgrade.
