[QUOTE="Gulfcoast, post: 713379, member: 11175"] I got my Red Head steering gear installed last Wednesday and it seemed to be a great improvement. Then Sunday I had a two hour round trip drive and I noticed that it seemed to stick and I found my self correcting left and right as I went down the one lane highway. I also noticed that when I turn and let go of the wheel at the end of my turn it does not want to return all the way to center and seems to stick and I end up finishing the turn manually. When I did the install I changed out both lines that went to the gear as well as the high pressure line from the power steering pump to the hydroboost. I also flushed the fluid and refilled it with new ATF. I am wondering if its the gear or if it could be something else causing my issue. I put it up on jack stands and turned the tires but I did not see anything that stood out as a problem to me. I also pulled the power steering cap off to verify fluid levels and it was full but I did not see any movement in there. Should the fluid be visably circulating? Could a bad power steering pump be causing my issues? Here are two videos I took. First one shows the wheel not centering after a turn and the second is when its on jack stands.
