Hey guys
I'm hoping someone will have some ideas on how to tame my steering a bit. I recently got my 71 to a drivable state after a frame off build and I've found that the steering is extremely sensitive. If I hit a bump, it gets a bit squarely and as I pick up speed it starts wandering a bit. I wouldn't call this bump steer since the steering wheel doesn't jerk at all when I hit a bump. Its just so sensitive that its hard to keep it straight. I've been wondering if a stiffer steering stabilizer would help but if so, where would I find one? My setup is listed below and I've attached the alignment results from a few weeks ago. I'm looking for any suggestions to tame this a bit
3.5" lift
35" tires
Tom's steering stabilizer
Ruff Stuff 1 ton steering with "the cure"
Tie rod over
Trackbar riser
Explorer PS pump
4 turn 4x4x2 steering box
