Default Steering Slop

I have a good amount of steering slop - It seems like the slop is in the steering helm - not at the drive.

Someone explain where the slop could be coming from and how to fix it..

The drive isn't moving the same time you turn the wheel? Little bit of delay in motion? My guess is stretched steering cable.

Hydraulic is definitely the way to go if you have a need for it... Its ideal in any situation, but if your not pushing 60+ mph, I don't believe its worth the extra money, save it for gas.

If it is your cable I will sell mine out of my 25 ol for $50. I think with your LOTO running out should go with a single ram add on.

How many hours did you have on your 26 before this started happening?

Yes Mike it's with the stock power steering pump. You will also need a hydraulic helm to replace the cable driven stock helm behind your wheel........ Violator has a very sweet set-up that is easy to install and priced very reasonably....... Call me if you are interested and I will give you steve's #............
