G1 front end binding

Field6565 · 11-19-2011, 11:44 AM

I'm having a binding issue with my front end. After putting the front end up on jack stands i adjusted the steering box so there is no binding from left to right. Then when I put the cart back on the ground I have a ton of binding. Its almost like there is binding somewhere else in the steering. So what should I look for? Could an adjustment on the tie rod ends help this problem. Thanks. Should add that i just put a homemade 2 inch lift on it but I had this issue before the lift.

when you say "binding" i imagine you mean it feels difficult to steer? have you tried greasing the king pins? if your king pins are worn they will often not move freely on the spindle when there is weight on them. try disassembling the spindles and king pins and inspect for wear on those pins.
