My suzuki sierra has a steering problem. The car when turning boths (lLeft or Right) wont return back to the Centre it either stays left or stays right. We have put a whole new steering system in the zook but we are still having the same problem. We are running the standard wheels at the moment with a 2 inch lift kit and new suspenstion. Would any of you have a clue what is wrong? and how to fix it? that would be good thanks :)

if so its likely the kingpin bearings are too tight

hey mate, A quick question. When we were going through the steering the front damper arm was burnt and very hard to move so we replaced it and we still have the same problem?

there is a spec in kg for the kingpin setup.
its done with the felts and rubber not fitted to the rear of the swivel hub and you measure the tension by hooking a spring tension meter to the wheel stud from memory.
you could likely use a fish weighing scale.

someone on here will know the spec but 2kg rings a bell for me.

if you are missing the king pin shims its likely your problem
