Got a steering issue. After the Cal 4 Swamp Lake run I noticed that my steering was a little stiff. But then I relized that it wasnt stiff , it wasnt returning to center. You turn left or right, let go of the wheel and power out of the turn and the wheels stayed to the direction of the turn. My steerind dampner is fin and working. By the way is an MJ. My control arms are not bent (1.22" solid stock), and im running a chromolly tierod so I dont think its any of those. My stering pump and box are quiet and smooth. My thoughts are leaning tword a bent ball joint. Any and all help is welcomed.

Thanx Dave.

Return to center is usually a function of caster, but if the control arms arnt bent then maybe something else is. Have someone turn the steering wheel lock to lock while you look to see if something is rubbing/binding/bending/etc.
