Some may remember I posted here awhile ago with a problem concerning my steering assembly. Specifically, that the angle at which it turns 'inward' toward the center of the truck was too extreme. (Thanks for the advice and ideas before.) I turned to other things while I tried to think this problem through, and now I'm back to it.
I've attached a pic to make clearer just what the issue it. But in short, I can line up all the attachment points between steering box, frame, and bulkhead (A,B,C,D in the photo), but then my steering is WAY skewed.
Or, I can line up the steering to a slight angle (as I believe it should be) and then the various attachment points between bulkhead and steering no longer line up.
My solution is start drilling new holes in the bulkhead, which I really hate to do. Unless there is something I'm missing??
What is throwing me off is that if this was an issue with my welding, I wouldn't expect everything to 'slide' naturally into place (stiffner brackets to bulkhead, bulkhead doorposts to frame, shim points to steering box, etc.)
Time to start drilling?
