Need some help with steering
 

My steering is binding. Besides the angles does anyone see anything that I am doing wrong? The two on top are mine, the rest are what some people are running and not having issues.
I would prefer to not buy another steering column since the one I have is new. Any help is appreciated.

Who's front end are you using?
Any way you can pull the column up inside the cab more, to lessen the angle of your steering joints?

Thanks for your response. I tried tha
t. It seems I will be buying a different column.

Can you tell where it binds?

On your middle u-joint you have on the frame you can trim some off the edge of the frame rail and this will allow for a better angle on the u-joint.

I pulled the column up to the linkage and tried. It did not work.

I cant tell.

I did take a little off the frame to maximize clearance. I cant do anymore due to the a-arms.

Thank you for the suggestions. Does anyone know how much a custom column from ididit will cost and what there lead time is?

Its hard to see the angle, but have you tried or would it be possible to shorten the shaft going down through the heim to the rack, and lengthen the one above?

I can't tell if there's room for the joint above the control arm mount to move down closer to the heim or not... I am also not sure if it would lessen the angle off the column, if i had to guess from the picture that's where I would say the problem is. Hard to tell.
