Steering question

[jfabert]

I fixed my frame break under the steering box and ever since I put it all back together its got some resistance when I turn the wheel that it didn't have before. I also replace the drag link while I had it off. I thought maybe I just needed to bleed off the PS lines. I didn't jack up the front end to do it, just turned it back and forth on the ground and have drove it a few hundred miles since and it is still the same. What could this be and is it ok the way it is? Its not hard to turn the wheel it just has a little resistance that it didn't have before. Other than that the steering acting fine with no noises. Thanx.

Might just be the new draglink ends,making it feel "tighter" than ever before??...or if you plated the frame with a repair patch,that threw the box out of alignment with the "rag joint" in the steering colum a tad..there's not much you can do about that but it might get better as you drive it..as for it being safe to drive,I cant tell from my chair,but if its all welded up solid again and you have new draglink ends,it HAS to be better than it was,right?...
