Steering Wheel Revolutions

[jimmyjack]

For all you full size steering wheel blazer drivers....... From stop to stop, how many revolutions does your wheel make? Mine goes 3 and 1/4 turns, I can make incredible U turns but I can barely get around a right hand corner. I noticed the rear tie rod for the steering arm is really long and butted up against the other tie rod inside the sleeve so it cant be adjusted. I think the easy solution is to replace the long tie rod with a shorter one but wanted some input from some people first.

My wheel goes 3 1/2 turns lock to lock. 1 3/4 turns each way. It turns very sharp left or right, maybe a little sharper going left. Does that help?

Yessir it does, I think its just a matter of changing the other tie rod so I can adjust the wheel correctly. Thanks a bunch.

The long one should be in the front, and the short one towards the back. I just got done changin the ends and I noticed left would hit the mechanical stop at the knuckle, but right wouldn't. I adjusted the length to get lock to lock, then my steering wheel wasn't centered- damnit

. When I use the adjuster sleeve to center the wheel, it doesn't go lock to lock- 2xdamnit

. I wound up "customizing" the steering wheel and turn signal mech to get it straight.
