brian.....I will try to help, but it is hard to explain, without pics ......look at the top of your steering box where the p.s. hose hooks in.....there are 2 - 1/2 bolts.....if you loosen them, you can move the plate side to side a little.....move it then start motor...... sometimes it takes a few tries.....good luck

hes right, i had one do that before and all you have to do is loosen the bolts and tap it a little either way and it should cure alot of it if not all of it

What are you guys doing to reinforce the steering on a 85 dippy? Thanks in advance.

I don't do anything. I've broke a couple of tie rods before but that's it, and statistically it has been a low failure rate for me so I don't lose any sleep over it.

Do you guys always put your knuckle at the box ? Would it make a difference if you had knuckle at firewall with a telescope to the box

I never done it any other way than to put the knuckle at the box and have had zero issues doing it like that. Vito I've broken a tie rod on every dippy I've run, I would suggest finding tie rods from another vehicle and modifying the spindles and center link if necessary to make them work.

Run 2 one at the firewall and one at the box. I tried ur method last year (one at the firewall and slider to the box) and it is not a good idea. Broken the stub off the box.

Not much at all. It stated binding at the firewall joint in the heat and by a few hits in the feature I was having to really force the wheel to turn and then it had to give somewhere. From now on 2 joints and slider inbetween for me.

Who sells Mopar columns with quick disconnect wheels? Or who sells the quick disconnectset up so I can modify it to make it work?

What do you do to get the front brake calipers from sticking after applying the brakes. They are all like that on every 74-78 c-body that I have. I have usually been taking them off and just running with back breaks only, but I sure would like to have the extra stopping power.
