whats your steering ratio

I agree with BDK1 also. I have seen a 1.5-1.0 ratio qickener and think this would make a huge difference and could solve your problem.

I'm going to make some test steering arms for my spindles which tack weld and bolt to the existing which will have two more tie rod holes in them which will multiply my steering ratio by 1.5X and 2.0X It will screw up my bump steer but I want to see if I can get it to steer then make the correct arms for it. We'll see what it does?

Going with a full Howe setup. I have everything other than the lines in my possesion: power rack, reverse rotation (Honda) pump, res, cooler, pulleys, etc.. The guys at Howe told me to get everything installed and then call them for custom hoses.

Buy the howe reducer from bug.Easiest thing to do /same results as 4.5" steering arm and it won't screw up your bumpsteer.

Im working on a power steering setup as well, I got access to all the parts, just need to bundle the right ones to make them affordable....I also have an inline steering shaft dampener as well, Im thinking of testing one out on my car, Likely will not be huge difference, but maybe some...

PS will allow a faster steering ratio which I like but if he can live with the slower steering then the ratio reducer would be much cheaper.And easier.
