After some lengthy discussions with several of my closest PW friends, I am still searching for answers. The truck is a 53 B4PW and has received a total steering rebuild. All steering components have been rebuilt, replaced and adjusted to proper specs with NOS parts. From the steering wheel to the ground-everything was addressed with the exception of the lower bearings/cones in the knuckles as they appeared to be in decent condition. With the front wheels off the ground the steering wheel can be turned left to right effortlessly. When the truck is lowered to the ground and being moved it is extremely difficult to steer. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this same problem after rebuild. After 45 years of turning wrenches on these vehicles, this one has me stumped. Thanks, Bill
