Re: steering issues

Young eyes/great vision is really important.

I had checked the arm earlier and it moved with the box. I sort of checked it off the list.

My son was under the truck and noticed the steering box output shaft would occasionally spin inside the arm.

I pulled the arm and found I have maybe a 1/8th inch of spline left. Once I saw it move the steering I never checked the splines while swapping gear boxes.

My next guess is that it was bad/close to failing before I did the cab swap.

The issue made no sense at all then but makes perfect sense now. It moved when I checked it but my son's younger eyes caught the occasional spin.
