All leaf sierras came with a steering dampener. One end bolts to the pin under your tow loop at the front, the other end bolts to the bracket on the pitman arm (steering box) |

There are two holes in the pitman arm that a bracket bolts to. One end of the damper goes in this bracket. The other end goes to the tube crossmember under radiator.

Also steering must be straight before you lock up that spring clamp. If not, It will affect your steering and it will make you steer off the road if you let go of the wheel. |

(adjust the screw on top of the steering box?) |

NO! That's the adjuster for preload (removes play) What do you mean "goes to the left" The steering wheel points a it towards the left when the car is going straight, or the car pulls to the left? Steve. |

ok. there is not much play in the steering wheel so i think thats fine. when going straight the car goes pulls a bit to the left. when i brake its more obvious the car pulls to the left. |

Get a wheel alignment before fitting the RTC damper. |
