I bought one of Carl Walcks Tight steer devices and installed it today. �Boy is that nice, almost all of the side to side play in the sterring wheel went away, the bump went a way and its real smooth all through the steering cycle.
�As I said in an earlier response, I've been watching this thread closely for a possible solution for the red CJ-2A that you've seen in so many of my posts. �I decided to purchase a TightSteer unit. �I was more than impressed with how it worked. �The adjuster on the steering box had been tightened too tight to try to keep the sloppiness out. �In doing so whenever you turn to the left or right (away from the worn area) then the steering became uncomfortably tight. �After installing the TightSteer the tightness was gone when turning left or right and so was the sloppiness when driving straight down the road. �If your worst steering problem is the steering gear box, TightSteer is a great solution. �
�When it arrived I was surprised that Carl Walck hadn't removed the manufacturer's name from the box it came it. �Even the paperwork that came with it gave the manufacturer's price. �Same price $79.95 but postage and handling was listed as only $7.50. �I looked up the address:http://www.siminoffjeeparts.com/TightSteer.html �There was more info about it along with alternate springs for different possible needs. �
�One of the greatest deterrents in buying the TightSteer was the $15 shipping Walck's charged. �I thought that was a lot of money for a small package. �I'm surprised that Carl wouldn't ship it for the same price that the manufacturer does. �For what it worth, now you know.
�I do endorse TightSteer wholeheartedly.
