Severe Handling Issue

[GATORB8]

Unless I misread, the number of times it was done tells us squat. We also don't know how it was done. If the handling is that poor, then the slop will be easy and obvious. Did someone watch the steering shaft move to relate and reconcile the input and output movement? How much does the steering wheel move before steering effort is transmitted to the knuckles? Was it done with a very quick back and forth of the steering wheel between the two points where resistance is felt or some perversion of that which tells us exactly nothing? You can do it 6 or 600 times and if you do it wrong, you aren't going to learn anything. Who was in front of the rig and touching all the parts to see what was going on? Was it done first with the engine off and then running to put higher stresses on components so the wear/slop shows up?

I promise you, enough play in something where you wind up in the other lane if you take your eyes off the road is stupid easy to find and it isn't going to be something like a bad bushing.

I didn't mean that as a poke. He sub quoted the other thread then mentioned the 6 times, I tempered the response with "Unless I Misread" because I wasn't positive he did the test you were referencing from how his response was formatted.
