My rig turns alot sharper to the left than it does to the right. My old Chevy did the same thing, but had a 6" lift, the Dodge has sagging front springs. When you turn the wheel all the way to the right, there is about a 1/4" gap between the stop and the knuckle.
Anyone else have this problem?

 

Yep, mine turning to the left will make the u joints rub when 4x4 is engaged but turning to the right I usually have to back up and try it a second time to make right turns. I also have a gap in the stops. Neither one hits them.

 

TTT

Anyone have an idea? Is it just a combination of worn springs/bushings, and gear? The tie rods and drag link is tight(no play).

 

One front wheel is behind to other due to damage. Bent steering arm, or Bent steering link is possible. Don't remember the exact steering setup on 93 4WD.
Many alignment shops don't correctlly set front end up. Depending on system, center and lock steering gear in dead center. Then adjust toe. If you can't get it right, something is out of proper relationship.

 

mine did that when i cracked the plate that the steering box bolts to check that

 

Old straight axles Chevy's had a "U" shaped steering arm on the left steering knuckle. That steering arm is what was limited steering at full lock while turning right. Didn't matter if you used a steering arm that curved up or a block under the stock arm to compensate for lifts. It's not that anything was worn out; it's just poor geometry. The only way to fix the problem on the old Chevy's was to convert to a crossover type steering system. I'm not too sure about Gen 1 steering set ups, but maybe it's similar as them old Chevys?

 

That's the first thing I checked. The plate isn't cracked. When someone wiggles the steering wheel, you can see the box move a slight amount. I am fairly confident that is normal. Maybe not. It deflects maybe a 1/16".
The way the system works, the drag link pushes back on the steering knuckle to turn left. I am thinking maybe since the springs sag, the axle have moved back, and the box doesn't have enough travel anymore. The front springs are hitting the frame in the back at rest.

 

I know jus what you mean. These 1st gens have almost the same steering as an older Chevy 1 ton. Mine isn't lifted though.
