find out where ist binding...mine is done 3 1/4 does not bind at all......did you notch for the tie rod ends when you bagged it.... other than that have someone else turn the wheel and see where it catches up...Oh and is the PS pump and system all ok...like no leaks or anything.

i think hes talkin bout from the column to the steerin gear. me n him talked bout this on aim. if u dont put universal joints in there and get rid of the rag joint it will eventually tear and fail.

He is right, I just put a flexible steering link in mine. Got it from www.alteredaltitude.com
